JSON-LD instead of application/microdata+json

Hi folks,

you might be interested to join the discussion I started over at the whatwg
list [1]. I looking at application/microdata+json and saw that it quite
similar to JSON-LD but lacks IMO a few fundamental things (such as not being
able to distinguish between a literal and an IRI). I therefore asked if
JSON-LD was considered as an alternative to defining
application/microdata+json. It wasn't.
