Description

An AS2 processor that downloads and parses the AS2 context document at https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams each time it is invoked will be very inefficient. The preferred method for including the context document is to pre-process it within the processor code.

Should we note this is section 2.1? Or an appendix?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the AS2 context document at https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams and the specification’s current section 2.1 and appendix structure. Update the relevant specification guidance to explain pre-processing or caching the context document and place the note in the agreed section or appendix.
