Re: My Java implementation of JSON-LD

Hi Markus,

Unfortunately my implementation has pretty much been ported directly
from the js/py implementations. The only exception is the triples
callback function, which now matches the spec (at least in the
interface). 

This was basically because I didn't have a lot of time to get some of
the functionality working (the triple callbacks). I was working with
the spec until I got to the Normalization algorithm. The "This algorithm
is a work in progress, do not implement it." note and the messiness of
that section pushed me to read the js and py implementations for that
function, and one thing led to another and before long I had ported the
bulk of the code. So I think the key thing is the incompleteness of
the spec rather than a poor spec, and this shouldn't be a problem once
the spec is finalised.

If I get some spare time I plan to re-implement a lot of the code (the
porting has left some rather unreadable code), which I'll try and do
from the spec. But I'm not sure if I'll get the chance any time soon.

Cheers
-Tristan
