Re: JSON-LD spec split preview

Oh Manu, working too hard.

The JSON core stuff is looking good, my stupid crit has pretty much
been answered.

But there's huge scope spread here, please pull that back until you've
confirmed it works with folks that have played there already. Graph
Normalization should be grounded in the RDF model, not a Hixie-like
magic trick.

Basically I think this is wrong-minded :

I could well be wrong, so cc'ing a second opinion.

Cheers,
Danny.
