The movedTo
property (a link) on an actor-type object indicating that the actor in question has "moved" to a new location. That is, the actor in question is no longer used and the movedTo link points to a new actor where the user's activities can be found. When displaying an actor with a movedTo property, clients should show a description of the linked-to actor as well, with some explanatory text ("This user has moved to ...").
This property is for advisory purposes only—the actors are still considered separate entities and nothing about this property should affect addressing, delivery, or lookup. Additionally this property should not be used by servers to take any sort of automatic actions, such as following the new user or unfollowing the old user.
When you say "
movedTo
property (a link)", do you mean specifically an AS2 Link object? Or what?I don't think showing a description of the linked to actor should be a SHOULD (unless you really meant
should
instead ofSHOULD
?), I think it should be a MAY or even just a note - otherwise we're dictating implementation too muchWe shouldn't make "don't take automatic actions" a SHOULD and instead leave it open for a future spec to fill in
LGTM otherwise 👍
