Re: [web-nfc] What's the value of `toJSON()`? (#366)

FWIW the "json" part is artificial, created by us in the Web NFC. Otherwise both `"opaque" and "json" map to Media type records that have a MIME type and we could just merge them to be "media" (replacing "json" and "opaque"). The simplicity of this is tempting.

I am asking myself, given that we can provide examples for good patterns, is the "json" use case so relevant that we want to keep it as a separate thing (for people coming from NFC side, it would be easier if we simply handled it as a media type).

Maybe "json" and "opaque" add enough semantics that they are useful, but I don't see people would have any problem invoking `JSON.parse()` and `JSON.stringify()` if examples/patterns would be given.
