Issues re. Primer - here /HTML

I hope, this is the right place to file issues re. https://www.w3.org/wiki/ActivityPub/Primer/HTML

Proposing that, if any section is a work in progress to write t.b.c. in the end.

Otherwise, we say to include blockquote in the "minimum set" (Note and Article)
I see the problem that a lot of author and source markups get lost, if we do not mention
<footer> and <cite> as well.
For example, see the recommendations in a "popular CSS framework" or at MDN or at the W3C

• So, the primer covers best practices and guidance for publishers and consumers. Publishers should probably only publish elements, attributes and protocols that are widely accepted by consumers; consumers should be aware of the elements, attributes and protcols that publishers widely use.

It's not normative, although it makes sense for us to consider normative guidelines for Activity Streams 2.0 summary and content HTML properties in a future version. This has been difficult for implementers in the past. There are FEPs, like FEP b2b8, that give more guidance on HTML usage.

I think right now the main guidance on HTML usage is the Mastodon supported elements and attributes. It'd be good to get this moved in.

So, I think it makes sense to make suggestions on that wiki page, with the expectation that Postel rules apply.

The decision on how to handle a best practice subset of HTML to support is discussed in #419 .
