@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber The original conversation was about removing JSON-LD and potentially using another schema language or making one up, or throwing away extensibility altogether. That would break backwards compatibility.
I agree, we might be able to add digital signatures without removing JSON-LD.
@evanEvan Prodromou I am not suggesting removing json-ld, I am suggesting accepting the current state of affairs as "it's json-ld except not really because almost nobody is using the official algorithms" and then saying "okay, well how can we make this json-ld compatible but actually add a canonicalization and signature system that doesn't use those algorithms, even though the few people who want to bridge with the RDF world still could"
Which, maybe I didn't explain sufficiently
