Interesting. It's a beautiful way to create structured data separate
from the content, just like layout (CSS) is best kept separate from the
content.
I wonder why people on this list don't like it. Reading about it was an
epiphany for me, it's (in my opinion) the right way to do structured
data, and far superior to sticking a bunch of attributes in tags - just
like CSS selectors are far superior to sticking style attributes in tags.
Not meaning to start a holy war, it's just I didn't come across anything
negative about it during my initial research on JSON-LD. Other than my
own observation that it bloats the content sent to every client, hence
the desire for a header specifying it is actually wanted before it is
stuffed in the document head node.

Or an issue against https://github.com/json-ld/json-ld.org?

I am (finally) starting to implement JSON-LD on a site, it generates a lot

I'd prefer to only stick it in the head when the client is a crawler that
wants it.
Wouldn't it be prudent if agents that want JSON-LD can send a standardized
header as part of their request so web apps can optionally choose to only
send the JSON-LD data to clients that want it? Seems it would be kinder to
mobile users on limited bandwidth if they didn't have to download a bunch
of JSON that is meaningless to them.
Is this the right group to suggest that?
