If the metadata file is discovered first -- such as through a web search -- then this would help prevent a non-CSVW JSON file that just happens to look like a CSVW metadata file from being erroneously interpreted as a CSVW metadata file. The IANA registration shows no Magic Number, but valid metadata documents MUST have the context "http://www.w3.org/ns/csvw”, which will typically (although not necessarily) appear at the beginning of the document. In fact, this is what my JSON-LD processor looks to to not treat it as JSON-LD, but as Tabular Metadata.
