Thanks. I remember looking at Litepub. Not aware of the other two. The FeatherPub document feels like by far the most useful.

But I also think just going through the spec with a red marker would be a useful exercise and maybe I will one day.

In the sense that there are a whole lot of features nobody does anything useful with.

E.g. "@context" in theory provides a whole lot of ways to type the rest of the data. I'd be willing to bet that you'd break a whole lot of software if you served up a "@context" for an actor that mapped common field-names in use by Mastodon to a different namespace and mapped the Mastodon features to different names...

In theory it's great. In practice, I suspect we have XML namespaces and people stupidly hardcoding prefixes all over again...
