Logical clock
Would it be helpful to add an (optional) logical clock mechanism to ActivityPub?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_clock
For example, to handle Delete before Create or Undo before the activity being undone?
Good idea (esp. the optional). Do we know other protocols in the W3C space, that use this already?

@lobingera As far as I can tell, no other W3C protocols use logical clocks.

@evan I read this similar and after browsing this https://www.chriswirz.com/distributed-systems/03-understanding-logical-clocks-in-distributed-systems
i'm not sure anymore, that a simple clock (lamport) would address (all?, i have not read your FEP ... was away from a real computer);
