Proposal for 1.0: Reconcile Birthday vs DOB between REST and javascript syntaxes

[goosemanjack]

There is a mismatch between the Javascript Person object and the REST
data contract.


In REST the value is "birthday"
http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v09/REST-API.html#XML_format_XSD

In Javascript it is "DATE_OF_BIRTH"
http://www.opensocial.org/Technical-Resources/opensocial-spec-v09/OpenSocial-Specification.html#opensocial.Person.Field.DATE_OF_BIRTH

Proposal is to standardize on "birthday" as the correct field.

+1 for "birthday"

If the JS docs, I think we should mark DATE_OF_BIRTH as deprecated and
add BIRTHDAY.

Now that the entire Person.Field object is deprecated [1] and the
Social-Data spec contains 'birthday' [2] is this proposal done?
