File extension

[juusoautiosalo]

JSON-LD uses .jsonld as the (recommended) file extension as can be seen from the IANA considerations and elsewhere in the specification. So I would like to bring up an obvious question (because I am selecting the "main" file extension for a project):

What will be the (recommended) file extension for YAML-LD?

I suggest .yamlld for consistency and the "no surprises" principle.

Previous materials on the topic:

• @gkellogg used .ymld in an example in this comment: Round-trip safe json-ld -> yaml-ld -> json-ld #8 (comment)
• YAML LD media type and profiles #14 has used just plain .yaml.
  • (The upcoming IANA media type application also apparently has to define a file extension?)

".jsonld" instead of ".json" for application/ld+json would imply ".yamlld" instead of ".yaml" for application/ld+yaml. This should go in the media-type application, which is typically part of the spec.
