Not sure about "plain" since the main use case that raised this issue
was about the comments content which is html. Unless you don't mean
"plain" as "plain/1.0" renderer syntax but i think we should use
something because it does not reflect the fact it's an kind of
sub/minor query.
Here is a list coming form the previous mails and some more i can
think of (feel free to add others):
* plain: -1
* viewinternal: +0
* internal: -1 (not related enough to view)
* service: -1 (there is no reason a service would not log the result in stats)
* minorview: +0.5
* subview: +0.5
What about a simple "get"?
If you want to retrieve a resource for the sake of having it as a part of a bigger request
you can use a non-semantically-bound and generic action.
This could work for every resource: comments, images, attachments, etc.
If, on the other hand, you want some additional behavior associated to a specific
semantics of the action (e.g., logging or increasing the pageviews when it's actually
a view) you use a more specific action like "view", "download", etc.
(like it's done right now)
