so what if developers use JSON-LD libraries that provide no control over producing the specific "shape" required by the spec? i have too little knowledge of JSON-LD libraries to know about this. but i do know that this is a real problem in an identical area where there were specs that required certain forms of XML serialization, only to later discover that when using standard XML software (which more often than not does not provide full control over all details of serialization), for some developers it was simply impossibly to satisfy this additional constraint on top of standard XML. like i said, i am not sure this is an issue here, but it may be something to keep in mind and something that has caused many real problems in earlier occurrences of the same "let's constrain the standard to make client development easier" approach. postel's law still is something to keep in mind for open systems. -- GitHub Notif of comment by dret See https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/52#issuecomment-119770978
