Markus, others, Markus made a change on the pyRdfa processor the other day (which I propagated to the pyRdfa service on the W3C) to change the media type when distilling json-ld from RDFa. I realized yesterday that this 'broke' a feature I used: I have a JSON viewer/displayer extension in Firefox that did not work any more. The reason is obvious: that extension works on a /json media type but does not on /jsonld+json (probably ignores any YYYY+json in general). Hence my question: do we have an idea how widely the '+' mechanism is implemented among tools that rely on media type? My _hunch_ is that this is not widely done (this was/is an issue with the YYYY+xml stuff as well). Because the major value of JSON-LD is that existing JSON tools can happily work with it, possibly ignoring the 'LD' aspects, I wonder whether, in practice, it is not better not to introduce a new media type... Of course, if the experience is that YYYY+jsonld works in general, and only my extension has a bug then, well, o.k. I am just musing here, not raising some sort of an objection...
