I think the issue is that *some* of the users of the specification
are doing this.  I think we should strongly object to specifications
that use it that way... but I still find it hard to formulate an
objection to JSON-LD itself.  (Especially for relatively small
maintenance to the spec.)

I think an analogy to what's happening would be to specs claiming to
use XML namespaces, but some of them relying on the tag being
"html:select" rather than doing processing of the xmlns attributes
to figure out what the "html:" (or "xhtml:", etc.) prefix means.
Except that in this case it's a more complicated thing than XML
namespaces:  the full RDF data model.
