This is a different standard than we used for RDFa. The RDFa tests are generated automatically, due to the lardf number of variations, and there is a web-based test runner. The RDFa test suite lives permanently at rdfa.info/tests. Perhaps Ivan or Manu recall what the rational for this was.

If we were to do as Sandro suggests, we would copy the json-ld.org/test-suite/tests under the w3c page, put the manifest in the same (test parent) directory, and instruct testers to assume a base of http://json-ld.org/test-suite/tests/ as the implicit base option. We should then actually test using this, to verify that it tests properly. There also may be some .htaccess configuration needed in addition to what's in those files right now.
