It's nice about XML namespaces how they can by definition never collide,
|
||||
but this degree of engineering perfection causes us a lot of overhead.
|
||||
The PSYC approach is to just extend the name of the method - as long as
|
||||
people use differing method names, protocol extensions can exist next
|
||||
to each other happily. Method name unicity cannot mathematically be ensured,
|
||||
but it's enough to append your company name to make it unlikely for anyone
|
||||
else on earth to have the same name. How this kind of safety is delivered
|
||||
when using the JSON syntax of ActivityStreams is unclear. Apparently it was
|
||||
no longer an important design criterion.
