Syntax doc edits to avoid implying that JSON-LD is not RDF

Attached are the corresponding changes that I see that are needed in the 
syntax document:
http://json-ld.org/spec/latest/json-ld/

Again, three documents are attached:

  - json-ld-index.html.old: A snapshot of the Syntax document as it was 
before I made the attached edits, to provide a basis for diffs.

  - json-ld-index2.html: The Syntax document containing my suggested 
changes.

  - json-ld-index2-diffs.txt: Diffs between the above files.

Other editorial issues that I noticed but I did not fix in the attached 
version:

1. The Abstract begins: "JSON is a useful data serialization and 
messaging format".  Delete "useful" or perhaps delete the whole 
sentence.  (Other data serialization and messaging formats are *not* 
useful?)

2. The Features at Risk section needs to be updated regarding blank 
nodes as predicates.

Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks!
David
