Hi Henry,

Making WebID content-type and serialization format agnostic is the only
way forward. That's been the case for the beginning, as I've advocated
repeatedly over the years.

RDF-based specs should at the very least apply SHOULD to both JSON-LD
and RDF-Turtle. Anything less fails the "wisdom of Solomon" test.

BTW -- is this
<https://github.com/webid-community/webid-spec/blob/master/spec/drafts/ED-webid-20100711/index.html#>
the doc to be forked for pull requests? If not, what is the specific doc
URL?
