Re: W3C Breakout Session on ActivityPub in the Browser

Hey Aaron:

The document in question is here, and it's worth a read:
https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-html-discovery/

Given the W3C audience, I would imagine the focus of this meeting will be
on thinking through how browsers and at-scale web infra could [safely]
integrate the mechanisms specified above.  If you have ideas for how the
above could be _extended_ with pointers to other protocols, the github repo
for the above or a FEP would probably be the place to put such ideas, but
it would probably make sense to wait a few weeks to start imagining
extensions, as the browser API experts on tomorrow's call might have
substantial input that refactors the current draft!

Thanks,
__bumble
