RE: What is the correct media-type for a Hydra specification?

A profile would be perfect.  And yes, I think that should be added.

for what it's worth, application/ld-json has a profile media type
parameter so that you could still be as descriptive as you want to be:

http://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#iana-considerations

there could be a profile URI identifying hydra, and then using that in
the profile media type parameter would expose the fact that this
specific JSON-LD is serialized hydra.

the pitfall here is that unlike XML, RDF vocabularies are not in the
habit of identifying itself through one single URI. if they did,
profiles could be useful. maybe that's something to add to hydra, since
it's still under construction?

cheers,

dret.
