Please note resolution from Day1
"RESOLVED: Close ISSUE-21 re-affirming we'll use JSON-LD as in the
current draft, with a normative context, and let people bring up sub-issues"

And let's careful with terminology, I try to distinguish various aspects
of microformats on Social syntax wiki page
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Social_syntax

* microformats *vocabulary*
* microformats *serializations*
** microformats HTML
** microformats form-encoded
** microformats JSON
** microformats JSON-LD

Just as RDF used different JSON serialization in a past, microformats
can also adopt JSON-LD for alternative (new) JSON serializations.
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-json/index.html

JSON-LD spec even has some section on using it with microformats!
