Yep, that's correct. Without introducing yet another keyword, a JSON-LD processor wouldn't know whether you meant it to be

  { "@value": "Tilburg", "@type": "schema:City" }

or

  { "@id": "Tilburg", "@type": "schema:City" }

In most cases, if you use a URL instead of a literal, you want to add more properties than just a type anyway.


Btw. HTML mails (in contrast to plain text mails) and top-posting are not very popular on mailing lists for various reasons :-P
