Re: Chartering work has started for a Linked Data Signature Working Group @W3C

But I thought that the main idea behind the WG is to select a signing
method for RDF / LD.   That is, to make it impossible to use JCS by
itself as the JSON-LD canonicalizer and be within the bounds of the
recommendation.

Of course, this certainly does not prevent the use of JCS to sign JSON-
LD documents - it is just that this would not conform to the
recommendation.
