I had a look at the Webfinger specification.

JRD (JSON Resource Descriptor) does not look like something I want to
use in the future. It is a JSON-formatted XRD document and has its own
media type (application/jrd+json). And XRD (eXtensible Resource
Descriptor) is "a simple generic format for describing and discovering
resources".

Something like Webfinger but based on JSON-LD might be good, but that
depends on it being in scope here.
