Description

I see chat-pane uses wf:message as a predicate linking LongChat and Message, but solid chat spec draft uses meeting:message instead.

Are there any plans to make SolidOS compatible with the spec, or vise-versa? Which one to go forward with in my own implementation?

There seem to be typos and inconsistencies in the chat spec, e.g. using wf:message in a few examples. Additionally, message predicate isn't defined in the meeting vocabulary. That makes me wonder whether meeting:message is a deliberate choice, or a mistake.

Research direction

Start by comparing src/longChatPane.js around line 363 with the linked Solid chat specification draft and solid/chat issue #12. Determine whether the predicate mismatch and missing meeting vocabulary definition have an agreed resolution; done means the compatibility direction is decided and reflected in the relevant implementation or specification.
