I would suggest, following guideline on serializations in WG Charter, to
only include JSON-LD examples and leave possible Turtle, RDFa,
Microdata, Microformats, RDF/XML to separate WG NOTE(s).

I say that, having big sympathy to Turtle and having written automated
tests which compare JSON-LD and Turtle examples in core spec.

Once we change the way examples get pulled in the spec documents, we can
also easily compile them as separate NOTE(s) or put them back into the
spec later. Making it also easier to fix all the incorrect ones in
incremental way, without interfering with editorial changes to the spec.
This will also make it easier to expose them to
