I don't see any reason for a new media type. Media types identify file formats basically, which is orthogonal to what AS doing: creating yet another RDF vocabulary to describe social graphs and document hierarchies. If the serialization format is JSON-LD, then it can be interpreted as both RDF and JSON, which is a bonus. But in general, Linked Data applications should advertise which RDF serializations they support, instead of creating or extending media types. By extending the JSON media type, the interoperability would decrease.
