At https://github.com/w3c/WebID/issues/3, 3 of the 4 involved agreed to 
narrow the option space to 3 options - none of them being the one you 
describe above.  The 3 options are those in the Kingsley put in a table 
here: https://github.com/w3c/WebID/issues/3#issuecomment-898969571

All 3 of us agreed that we preferred option #3 among those options:

  * For both servers and clients, require nothing, but recommend JSON-LD
    (and recommend no other serialization formats)

Can you be persuaded to say "recommendation" instead of "default"?
