It says:
http://w3c.github.io/dwbp/bp.html#MultipleFormats

Which may or may not be enough for here. It doesn't explicitly say that 
you should provide HTML or JSON (actually it gives CSV RDF and XML as 
the examples) - but the doc just pointed to will be published as the 
next working draft - subject to the WG so resolving on Friday afternoon.



at least JSON (because that is what web
