<![CDATA[I have a question about the `liked` collection in the #ActivityPub specification.]]>I have a question about the `liked` collection in the specification. According to section 5.5, the liked collection is “a list of every object from all of the actor's `Like` activities”, whereas the side note in section 5.7 says it is “a collection of `Like` activities performed by the actor”. What is the element type of the liked collection, `Object` or `Like`?

• Section 5.5: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#liked
• Section 5.7: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#likes

In the definition it says objects, but in the note (second link) it says activities.

* *Liked* belongs to actors: contains the objects that they have liked

* *Likes* belongs to any type of object: contains Like activities from other actors having current object as an object

> liked: Specifically a property of actors. This is a collection of objects liked by the actor, added to the collection as a side effect of delivery to the outbox.
