Hi Sarven, Phil, Rob,

Are there mediatypes that map to application/ld+json with a profile?

This begs the question why one would want to do that.

We're investigating to see what else is other than AS2 is making/stating such equivalences:

application/activity+json and application/ld+json; profile="http://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams";

To the best of my know knowledge, there aren't any.

While I wholeheartedly appreciate the discussion on whether that's a good or bad idea, that wasn't at all my intention. [Aside: you are welcome to dig into past Social Web WG's discussions/meetings to see my strong position against the new mediatype.]

The investigation was towards Linked Data Notifications:

https://linkedresearch.org/ldn/

to see what it can mention in order to apply the robustness principle. It is a step towards helping people design flexible systems that wish to so they can be a bit more interoperable with other communities/implementations. That's being pragmatic.

LDN is not inventing or proposing a new mediatype, it doesn't have a need for it, nor there are any plans for it, neither promoting "non-LD stuff". Lastly, LDN has already marked this as at risk and prepared to hand it off to the Social Web Protocols. https://github.com/csarven/ldn/issues/10 already addressed all this, satisfied all commenters, and marked as closed:
