@silverpill @raucao no requirements are being changed here. "the identifier is foo" does not mean "the identifier MUST always be expressed using the literal sequence of characters f, o, o".

speaking of requirements, please read the first sentence of https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#jsonld and note the MUST.

"as:Public should be banned" is completely uncalled for.

and you currently need to special-case the full URI too! this is because it is not a real object. the real mistake is addressing Public at all.
