I think the biggest issue that the semantic web community has had is getting massive adoption of it's technologies. RDFa is one of the success stories - what other semantic web format has had the adoption curve that it has? That is, we met developers half-way and good things happened. We need to do the same with the data formats for RDF. TURTLE and SPARQL have been out there for quite a number of years, but adoption has been constrained to the semantic web developer community. I have a great deal of respect for the people that work on the Semantic Web stuff. There's enough of it out there already, another RDF serialization isn't going to drastically change things. We need to focus on helping the Web developers out there, not the semantic application developers.

They think object-based, not triple-based - we need to meet them half-way on that - we need to disrupt as little as possible. However, these companies are just examples of the types of developers that we want to attract into the Semantic Web world - it wouldn't take a great deal of effort to do that and that's what JSON-LD focuses on doing.

For example, we don't need microsyntaxes or type coercion if we agree that the serialization will be lossy. Much of JSON-LD can be whittled down to a simpler format - but we will need to address the "Why didn't you add feature X?" people, and the spec does that pre-emptively at the moment.
