"pretty" boils down to de-facto standard, or rather it became a sorta kinda requirement by means of post-facto #interoperability. In other words: Who comes first, and popularizes some custom app-specific extension, becomes owner of that part of the spec that is now considered protocol-native.
#NoBot is app-specific too. Or Microblogging domain-specific perhaps, albeit implicitly then.
When it comes to considering it standard, we talk about accepting #ActivityPub protocol decay. Specifically:
- Considering the way account profiles are handled to be part of the protocol.
- To handle special control words (or just #NoBot) in the profile text.
