I agree that source and target should not be repeated, but I would rather not see target and source as attributes as they represent other entities and not just basic data types. I would instead see them as properties and thus not put them in the attributes array.

I have no particular objection for that, the only point being to avoid
multiple representation. What about your implementation ?
I have implemented target and source as top-level attribute but parsing
understand both representation. 

Do you agree on keeping the only top-level representation ?

> Regarding the collection rendering in JSON I wouldn’t use top level arrays as there are still vulnerabilities around them in JavaScript (see http://haacked.com/archive/2009/06/25/json-hijacking.aspx/). I would instead suggest to create an object with key „locations“ and an array of URIs as value.

Good to know !

Ok for 
{ "locations": [...] }

I'm updating the json spec.

Jean
