Activity Id association #1056

In xAPI we already have a concept of personas associated together as people. I've seen a few cases recently where an organization is looking at migrating to a new platform and for whatever reason it is not technically feasible to maintain the exact activity ids used on the old platform for migrated content.

I wonder if we need to think about some concept of associating activity ids such that a system interpreting the data recognizes that they represent the same (or at least a closely related) activity.

This may or may not need to be something that's part of the xAPI spec. In fact, it may be something that could be solved by the deprecation functionality of the profiles spec if that were used to document existing usage.
