r12a has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams as "i18n": == Why exclude markup from name? == Please Indicate One: * [ ] Editorial * [x] Question * [ ] Feedback * [ ] Blocking Issue * [ ] Non-Blocking Issue [This issue has support from others in the i18n WG.] https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-name > HTML markup MUST NOT be included. What is the reason for explicitly excluding markup from the name value, whereas it is allowed for other natural language values? It will force people to convert to or use control characters for inline bidirectional controls, and will prevent inline annotation for language change. Why cannot implementations simply remove markup (and convert bidi markup to control codes where needed)? See https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/338
