267 discusses the advantages of DSNP profile documents being discoverable based on a user's identifier, rather than being temporal data that must be externally tracked and indexed to be useful.
Solution
This proposal adds a new User Data type, profileResources, which is currently defined for the Activity Content profile document type, but is extensible to other document types that may need to be user-centric in the future.
A profile resource is simply a link type (as an integer) and a CID as a string plus byte length.
We define link type 1 for AC profiles.
This change assumes we are versioning for 1.3, but does not include versioning updates, which are in other open PRs at this time.
Change summary:
[ ] Updated Spec Versions
[x] Added definition for ProfileResource Avro type
[x] Added entry in User Data page for profileResource
[x] Updated navigation; added ProfileResource, moved Profile announcement to "Migrated" section
