our main goal is produce something that is used by people and developers 
outside of the W3C.

it seems to me that harry has always pointed out that plain JSON is 
something that we want to have, and that JSON-LD is icing on the cake. 
we tend to have different opinions on how easily you can put that 
particular icing on that particular cake when at the same time you want 
to maintain extensibility and robust interoperability.

iff plain *and* RDFified views are what we want, then i would still be 
in favor of clean layering. let's have a JSON spec that talks about JSON 
only. and then let's have an "RDF view of AS" through a separate spec 
that is based on the plain one and JSON-LD.

cheers,
