RE: JSON-LD spec split preview

I like the way the spec was split, the only thing I could think of is the
question of whether we really need the sections on Expansion/Compaction and
especially Framing in the syntax spec. Perhaps that should be moved over to
the API spec.

To further improve the spec I would also like to suggest to move the Lists
section from Advanced Concepts to Basic Concepts and merge External Contexts
with The Concept. Lists are a fundamental data structure and we support it
in a quite elegant way. Regarding the context I expect that the vast
majority of developers will use external contexts so we shouldn't hide that
feature under Advanced Concepts.

I think the Normalization section that is currently in the syntax spec
should also better be moved to the API doc. The API doc can then contain a
normative reference to the normalization spec. This would make the syntax
and normalization spec independent of the other specs. Just the API spec
would then depend on the other two which I think makes sense as we might
need more time to create a useful API.

+1 think that would make the spec more complete
