Re: @direction in json ld 1.0

We discussed this quite a bit at the F2F. IIRC, the feeling was that if schema.org decide to use this, the impact would be limited, but would require the use of a 1.1 processor. And, not properly ignoring non-keywords that look like keywords could be considered a 1.0 bug, as the syntax spec says they should be ignored.
