Well, I object to all 11 of your Linked Data "requirements" in one way or another, before you even get to the JSON-LD derivations. I think they represent a very particular RDF-centric implementation of an idea that can and should be much simpler, and I'm with Kingsley in wanting to see the term "Linked Data" separated from the RDF mechanics. As we've said before, the question is what we're trying to accomplish here: - serialize RDF in JSON for the benefit of people who already understand RDF but don't like the existing serializations for some reason or - encourage wider use of un-deconstructed graph representations of data by providing a simple serialization standard that takes advantage of JSON familiarity to reach a much larger audience of people who are motivated primarily by their own data and needs and don't necessarily yet even consciously think about graphs, much less understand RDF I don't see the point of the former, so if that's what this "community" devolves into, I'll just unsubscribe. The latter, on the other hand, seems to me like a hugely valuable and important step that the *data* community should be trying to take.
