> What about intentionally transient objects? (Which includes activities), per Section 3.1 HTTP POST to outbox will always allocate an ID as currently written and specified, at least for the top-level activity (and for the object of a Create, in case of an implicit Create and possibly in case of an explicit Create as well). There is no way to POST to an outbox and not have an ID assigned to the generated activity. But these are separate issues from "the actor's namespace" and this erratum. You probably want to look at the following issues instead: - C2S Create activity has unspecified behavior wrt assigning an ID to the inner object https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/438 - Section 6.3.1 C2S Partial Update property deletion behavior is impossible and should be deprecated https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/477 - ...possibly create a new issue for coming up with a way to POST something to the outbox but *not* assign an ID? This is similar to the issue with partial Update linked in the above bullet point (issue 477), but more fundamental.
