Is an ID change also a `Move` but under the same domain? Can , and others handle that, even if the URL stays the same?

@pfefferle Hmmm…I think the permalinks would be different, although I am sure WordPress could be setup in a way where the permalinks are preserved.

@darnell my idea is to change the Actor-ID of a WordPress user to something more generic, so that he/she can more easily rename their handle and maybe also the author-url!

@pfefferle @darnell You did not mean the whole URL to be the same, but the Base URL?

Or did you mean that the "url" attribute of the two actor objects is identical, but the "id" points to a new one?

@linos @darnell if we want to change the Actor-ID to `domain/?author=1`, the URL attribute will stay the same.

@pfefferle @linos @darnell I'm more worried about the query parameter in an IRI than I am about the Move activity having its target on the same domain! I'm no JSON-LD wizard but I wonder if that's valid as a URI to stick in an `actor.id`, and even if it's valid, I'd worry other implementations botching it or dropping the `?...` somehow, because of some unwitting behavior of underlying HTTP validation libraries or whatever

@by_caballero @linos @darnell interesting point, but WordPress already uses it for Comments and it seems to work properly so far.

@pfefferle @by_caballero @darnell An URI supports query parameters, and even fragments! datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/

So also the WordPress ActivityPub URIs for Create/Announce etc are valid! 😊

Logo of the IETF
IETF DatatrackerRFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic SyntaxA Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. This specification defines the generic URI syntax and a process for resolving URI references that might be in relative form, along with guidelines and security considerations for the use of URIs on the Internet. The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all valid URIs, allowing an implementation to parse the common components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific requirements of every possible identifier. This specification does not define a generative grammar for URIs; that task is performed by the individual specifications of each URI scheme. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

@linos @pfefferle @darnell from the underlying normref supporting it to all implementations behaving as expected is a bit of a leap of faith, but good to know the _first_ part of my concern was baseless! 😅
