Feeling uneasy about JSON-LD

Hey all,

During the F2F meeting, we had the perennial discussion about JSON-LD
and Linked Data challenges... specifically, developer push back. The
group acknowledged the issue and we're now attempting to address it via
PRs to the spec:

https://github.com/w3c/vc-data-model/pull/159

Here's another example of how this conversation progresses:

Note that the developer hated RDF, is self-taught, and deployed JSON-LD
w/o knowing any of the underpinnings. I think that's what success looks
like and admit that we have a way to go before we're to that level w/ VCs.

... and the original blog posting about the reasons we created JSON-LD:

Just a data point for those of you that are struggling w/ convincing
other developers to use JSON-LD.
