i always find it useful to see a format/spec put itself into context. it seems that JSON feed could do that in relation to at least two existing "JSON feed formats", which are activity streams and Collection+JSON. i don't mean for this to be a competition, but many people reading the spec will wonder what the differences are, and giving them something to read will be very helpful.

agreed that #20 is related. feel free to mark mine as a duplicate. i was calling out Collection+JSON because that one is more specifically aiming at atom as well. whereas activity streams is broadly in the same realm, but has a different history and assumptions (and since the move to W3C it arguably was turned into RDF instead of JSON and simply still happens to have a JSON-based serialization).

Thanks y'all. Another similar format is JF2: https://www.w3.org/TR/jf2/, based on Microformats. (Really there are probably at least 4-5 related JSON formats that could be referenced, although I could see that happening as blog posts elsewhere instead of in the spec itself.)

absolutely. if there are stable and standardized formats, maybe having informative sections in the spec is useful. if they are informal or draft-level projects, then maybe not so much. ymmv.
