Comments on simplified JSON thing descriptions

My regrets for the the main WoT call as I have an appointment I can't change. Sebastian informed me that in today’s call, there will be a presentation of Ben’s Ben’s simplified thing description proposal.

I’ve added some comments on that and invite you to read them and respond, see:

In summary: Ben’s proposal is a subset of a more general approach that covers a broader range of requirements, e.g. the ability to pass data with events and actions. In addition, I propose  a general way to address security and synchronisation within the Internet as opposed to the IoT edge protocols. This replace’s Ben’s use of “href” and “links” in his proposal.
