the proposal is to add a profile media type parameter to both media types. it would allow profiles to be identified at the media type level. profiles according to RFC 6906 could be used to signal certain vocabularies that an activity stream may use (or that a client prefers). https://github.com/dret/ASDL is one way how such a profile could be represented (currently ASDL is focusing on AS1), but the profile parameter would not require a specific representation, or any at all. it would simply signify that an activity stream follows a profile.

RFC 6906 profiles can be used with application/ld+json as well. See #52

if we add this, then maybe we can also add some recommendation or suggestion for people to expose extension vocabulary usage this way. i'd be happy to suggest something if there is interest.
