Re: JSON-LD in HTML

How about:

    <link rel="http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#context"
href="http://schema.org/context.jsonld" />

Perhaps more precise with an @about and a script @id, like:

    <link about="#jsonld" rel="http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#context"
href="http://schema.org/context.jsonld" />
    <script type="application/ld+json" id="jsonld">...</script>

Cheers,
Niklas

JSON does not provide for anyway to escape those that I'm aware of, therefor you basically can't use JSON-LD inside an XHTML document intended for the web.

These examples worked out but for standard only, whereas this proposal is for an informal feature, much like Turtle in HTML. Bottom line: that has no chance of getting through, meaning that resulting HTML files would be invalid.

But that means that validation of such a file would require validating an HTML file with an RDFa flag (eg, when validator.nu is used) which is strange because this feature has nothing to do with RDFa. And, apart from validation, it is conceptually wrong to reuse an attribute that has nothing to do with RDFa but which would introduced _for_ RDFa. So this may not be an option after all
