Hi,

I've just realized that all (?) JSON-LD examples in schema.org are invalid
since they include comments. Just as JSON, JSON-LD doesn't support comments.

Example 1 of http://schema.org/Action for instance begins as follows:

  <script type="application/ld+json">
    // John listened to Pink with Steve at Anna's appartment on his iPod.
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "ListenAction",
    ...

The second line turns this into invalid JSON(-LD). It should thus be
rewritten to

  <script type="application/ld+json">
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "ListenAction",
    ...


Would it be possible to remove those comments at the beginning of all
examples? I fear that otherwise a lot of people will adapt this style which
will lead to severe interoperability problems.


Thanks,
Markus
