FIP: Labels

A data standard to annonate context about accounts like language, humanity, spamminess and other qualities.

Labels will make it easy to generate public datasets that are useful for app developers to categorize casts and users.

Makes sense. I'm ok with data stored off-protocol, but I would like a way to announce them on-protocol. Say I consumed Warpcast's "spam" labels. How do I know there's a next version? How do I consume the changes? Can we have some type on-protocol announcement? A special cast pointing to the new version? Something similar?

1. need more expressiveness (label + value) 
2. they are not a relationship, so semantically inaccurate
3. they should work for casts, not just accounts  
4. unlikely to scale on protocol long term, there will be a *lot* of labels for all kinds of stuff
