Re: Including Security namespace terms in the Activity Streams 2.0 context document, take two

It might be better to say: the question is not whether anyone should use 
these terms in this context. They already do, millions of times per day.

The question is whether we should require developers to include the 
Security Vocabulary context in every single ActivityPub actor object, or 
if we should make developers' work just a teeny bit easier by including 
these terms in the AS2 context directly.

The whole point of including terms in our context document is to make 
things somewhat more convenient for ActivityPub developers.
