The only thing I'd add is that we will probably want to create a really high-level introduction to JSON-LD. Basically, showing people how they can use pre-created JSON-LD contexts to mark up people, places, events, recipes, etc. This document shouldn't take spec-form, but should rather be written as one or more "Beginner's Guide" articles. The problem with the Basic spec is that I conflated what Kingsley, Glenn and Brian wanted based on their e-mails to the mailing list. I thought they wanted the roughly the same thing in the beginning, and that turned out to be a completely false premise. The existence of the Basic spec only serves to reinforce that false premise and take up precious editorial cycles. We do need to replace it with a series of Beginner's Guide articles. Any volunteers willing to take a shot at writing some prose targeted at Web developers already using JSON? -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: PaySwarm Developer Tools and Demo Released http://digitalbazaar.com/2011/05/05/payswarm-sandbox/
