Activity Objects In canonicaldb.json

[Ryan J Baxter <rj...@us.ibm.com>]

Hi,

I am reviewing some of the activity stream changes made in the 
canonicaldb.json.  In the object property of the first activity entry 
there is now a summary field.  From the activity stream spec here is the 
description of the summary field:

Natural-language description of the object encoded as a single JSON String 
containing HTML markup. Visual elements such as thumbnail images MAY be 
included. An activity MAY contain a summary property.

The field may contain HTML, but in the canonicaldb.json the first activity 
object has this summary field:

<body>My activity summary.</body>

It seems odd we would have a summary field with body tags.  If your 
embedding the summary field in your page than you would have 2 body tags. 
It probably won't break anything when the page renders but doesn't seem 
right to have 2 sets of body tags.
