trwnh question: am i wasting my time trying to implement support for type arrays in AS2 documents? i think all current ap implementations only support a single type, but i kinda don't wanna abandon extensibility...

Loqi [Sebastian Lasse, redaktor.me] ^ That was today @lain @nightpool @rhiaro @pukkamustard and oll the other cool kids.Chris and me had a good time in Social CG ;))
#
nightpool[m] FTR my position on the rel question is that I'm not against it, but it's solving a problem that's already solved in the spec through Content-Type negotiation
#
nightpool[m] sl007: I don't see any difference (and in fact, more complication) between using a rel link and using Accept: application/activity+json
#
sl007 Again the first is to specify and combine relations like rel="me activitypub" "It is me and this is my activitypub profile" or "this is chris, a friend and this is his profile" or whatever semantically in html (like in e.g. the indieweb) not only "Hey, accepting AP" … Am also at indiewebcamp - session up next is hamish, tomorrow is hackday
#
sl007 It's just sad if we schedule meetings and nobody of the people scheduled it attend …
#
nightpool[m] couldn't you just do that with <link rel="me" type="application/activity+json"> though?
#
nightpool[m] how are the two different?
#
sl007 well, I personally could but not the communities (aka my users) not familiar like indieweb (see rel="micropub"). And a question would type="application/activity+json" always refer to an AP Actor?
#
rhiaro normally you'd use rel="alternate" for a different content-type for the same content wouldn't you?
#
rhiaro I thought sl007's use case for a rel was to point to *different* content from an HTML version of something. So it's complementary to content negotiation, rather than doing the same job
#
sl007 yes, thanks for claryfing, rhiaro, sometimes hard for me to explain short in english and photos about digital subjects are hard as well ;)
