Hi All, We stumbled upon something odd when going through the HTML Content Algorithms (section 9.5 of the JSON LD 1.1 API document, [1]). The algorithm extracts the JSON-LD from the textContent of script elements with a JSON-LD mime type as value for the "type" attribute. We have cases where, similar to e.g. JavaScript, our HTML documents refer to JSON-LD data that is hosted external to the HTML document itself. Our current approach is to use an empty script element with "type" set to the JSON-LD mime type, and "src" set to the dereferenceable IRI of the JSON-LD dataset that we want to process. Our assumption was that JSON-LD processing of HTML documents would automatically consume these external datasets, but the current algorithm doesn't allow for this. That is, if we indeed read the specs correctly. I appreciate that it's a bit late in the game, but it would be good to at least have the algorithm state explicitly that loading such external JSON-LD data using a "src" attribute is OPTIONAL. We'd rather not standardise on this internally when the JSON-LD spec may opt for using e.g. link elements at a later stage.
