The message I most want to convey, in this thread, is that I am personally open to Martynas’s idea of removing all media type requirements in the hope that the ecosystem will spontaneously converge (as it has happened on a much wider scale with the transition to JSON).

What’s blocking progress is simply the fact that nobody is making PRs towards consensus as represented in #37. I’ll start doing so this week. I thought I would be able to start last week but got sidetracked. Obviously this doesn’t mean that consensus cannot change! On the contrary, I’d be enormously happy with anything that manages to accrue even more consensus than the MUST on JSON-LD and Turtle for publishers.

In case it is not clear that I have had that same opinion all along: I
am 100% in support of dropping any and all MUSTs on specific formats.
