Is it possible to somehow hook JSON-RDF+LD or something along those 
lines into the mix? The basic goal is to accentuate the point of 
intersection between JSON-LD and RDF without assuming that folks 
instinctively make the aforementioned leap -- whenever JSON-LD and RDF 
are the topic of discussion.

Yes, so you have to find a convenient way to highlight JSON-RDF+LD 
(meaning: JSON based Linked Data that conforms to RDF).

There's nothing wrong with RDF based Linked Data style of qualification. 
We only get into trouble when RDF and Linked Data are pitched as being 
one and the same which will always fail.
