Description
In https://github.com/w3c/vc-di-eddsa/issues/100#issuecomment-2607803930, the Verifiable Credentials WG rejected the idea of depending on the JSON-LD spec via its WebIDL interface. To be useful, "library" specifications need a clear way for other specs to depend on them, which those depending specs are willing to use. I think that means that JSON-LD needs to produce such an acceptable interface by the time the AC votes to publish the next version of its REC.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked vc-di-eddsa issue comment and the JSON-LD API specification's current interface documentation. Compare the rejected WebIDL approach with the needs of dependent specifications. Done means the Working Group has an agreed recommendation for an acceptable alternative interface and the issue records it.
