Request for feedback on BEACON specification

Hi,

I'm working in R&D of a German library Union network and have a strong 
background in Wikipedia, Wikidata among other things. In 2010 we 
developed a simple text-based format called BEACON to let cultural 
institutions with limited technical skills share links from Wikipedia 
and other authority files to their collections.

The BEACON link dump format has since been adopted widely in the German 
GLAM sector: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BEACON

Like Linked Data Fragments, BEACON can be used to publish links together 
with metadata with very limited technical requirements.

I am about to publish the BEACON specification as Internet Draft and 
would welcome any feedback (e.g. at 
https://github.com/gbv/beaconspec/issues). BEACON link dumps can be 
mapped to Linked Data Fragments and I use the Hydra Core Vocabulary for 
mapping of BEACON link dumps to RDF:

Greetings,
