Actually, I think what bothers me most about #JsonLd is that it completely misses the point of having specs and standards in the first place. Specs and standards are coordination. The whole point is to clarify, define, agree, and document things so that coordination costs stay linear, at worst.
Json-ld just says nope to that, and instead tries to replace coordination with computational wizardry. In my experience so far, it works as well as you might expect.
@hrefna I was just thinking about how all that time and energy was spent writing the AP specs, and then developing real world software for years afterward, and we still have so little to guide any of it. It's because that would be coordination, and I think that omission of coordination work is json-ld's original sin.
