Re: [w3c/webcomponents] HTML, CSS, and JSON modules shouldn't solely rely on MIME type to change parsing behavior (#839)

Right, somehow, this is syntactically redundant in environments where the interpretation is implied by the module specifier's suffix already. The web doesn't have a tradition of making such judgements.

I suppose the analogous (and unprecedented?) thing here would be something like requiring that, if the MIME type is `application/json`, then the module specifier must end in `.json`.

If we require this syntax for JSON modules on the web, I think there is some chance that a common authoring format will omit the assertions, and tools will insert it when generating web output as part of a build process. But there is also a chance that we can convince most people to write this directly.
