Good day.
I have explored the "Atom Activity Streams" documents of Friendica.
https://activitystrea.ms/specs/atom/1.0/
I have further added rendering capabilities to an RSS extension.

Proposal
--------
Since Atom Activity Streams documents can be delivered as a single
"atom:entry" element, as so with XMPP PubSub Node Items; then, it might
be beneficial to mention "Atom Activity Streams" in the XEP
specifications of Atom Over XMPP (XEP-0277 and XEP-0472).
Rational
--------
Even though, as it seems, an Atom Activity Streams document is, as with
Atom Over XMPP, a single "atom:entry" element, with a couple of XML
namespaces, this would stimulate people to:
* Utilize XMPP PubSub Node Items in an independent fashion, without
compiling an Atom Syndication Format document; and
* Consider interoperability with Friendica and other platforms that
produce Atom Activity Streams documents, and also Json Activity
Streams documents, which Nostr utilizes.
* Consider interoperability of projects with XMPP.
* Motivate projects, such as Friendica to extend support of XMPP.
XML Namespace
-------------
The namespaces that are utilized by Friendica, and may be relevant, are:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
xmlns:at="http://purl.org/atompub/tombstones/1.0"
xmlns:activity="http://activitystrea.ms/spec/1.0/"
xmlns:dfrn="http://purl.org/macgirvin/dfrn/1.0"
xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss"
xmlns:media="http://purl.org/syndication/atommedia"
xmlns:ostatus="http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0"
xmlns:poco="http://portablecontacts.net/spec/1.0"
xmlns:statusnet="http://status.net/schema/api/1/"
xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0"
