Re: [web-annotation] Yet Another JSON-LD the protocol spec to use?

The question is not "What happens if developers are using json-ld 
libraries", but the infinitely more common scenario of "What happens 
if developers are using json libraries". And in that 99% scenario, 
they would be unable to process the context to determine the semantics
 of the new keys in the object.

So, in my opinion, the benefit of not requiring an entire RDF stack 
(in the form of JSON-LD) while still being 100% compatible with it, 
outweighs any minor difficulty in applying supplied contexts and 
frames.

The alternative (which I am not absolutely against) is to completely 
embrace linked open data and make decisions entirely based on 
technical validity, rather than trying to cater to ease of 
development.  In that mode, we could be much less constraining.
