Adrian,

Re., DBpedia when you deference an Entity Description Page Identifiers 
(HTTP URLs) e.g., <http://dbpedia.org/page/John_Lennon> you have 
hyperlinks in the page footer and <link/> relations in the <head/> of 
the HTML that describe the page in question.

At the HTTP Level you have also have similar descriptions via "Link:" 
header relations:

Re., the DBpedia Entity Identifiers (HTTP URIs) you have:

curl -I http://dbpedia.org/resource/John_Lennon
HTTP/1.1 303 See Other
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:14:49 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive
Server: Virtuoso/07.10.3207 (Linux) x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu  VDB
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Location: http://dbpedia.org/page/John_Lennon

Basically, redirection to the page that describes the referent of the 
DBpedia Entity Identifier.

[1] http://bit.ly/1bD2eZs -- Identifier definition, from my glossary of 
terms doc
[2] http://bit.ly/1fqJ5yv -- Denotation
[3] http://bit.ly/1kv6UdE -- Vapour Report that starts with entity 
identifier <http://dbpedia.org/resource/John_Lennon> (illustrating how 
the name and de-reference characteristics of Linked Data enable 
looking-up the document that describes what 
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/John_Lennon> refers to at: 
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/John_Lennon> .

Conclusion:

The basis have been covered for a long time re., DBpedia. I don't see 
what applying "application/json+schema" or "text/plain" on all resources 
brings to the table, bar ambiguity and the resultant out-of-band 
processing which is antithetical to the fundamental goals of Linked Open 
Data.
