Since I was clear starting last June that the RDF Working Group would need clear alignment with RDF in order to publish the spec, I think I should express an opinion here. I could live with this phrasing as it stands, so +1 from me (chair hat "on").
I recognize the challenges inherent in restricting the use of JSON to encode JSON-LD, the value in having a JSON-compatible serialization for RDF data and the line that the JSON-LD Community Group has walked. I do *not* believe that anyone was or is attempting to be dishonest, nor do I feel that it is a useful way to frame this discussion.
