   But it is not a JSON-LD thing, right?

   A JSON document can have property names that are URIs, or reverse-DNS strings, or UUIDs, or longNamesThatIncludeSoftwareNameAndVersion. All of those can be globally unique.

     @julian The ability to make up brand new, guaranteed-unique identifiers on the fly is probably the thing I like most about JSON-LD.

     As you imply, though, it's not really a problem in practice, because devs are used to JSON, and know what happens when you add extensions to standards.
