Note in particular, the privacy issues in [[!RFC3023]] section 10 for HTTP IRIs. Data obtained from an inaccurate or malicious data source may lead to inaccurate or misleading conclusions, as well as the dereferencing of unintended IRIs. Care must be taken to align the trust in consulted resources with the sensitivity of the intended use of the data; inferences of potential medical treatments would likely require different trust than inferences for trip planning.</dd>

-          <dd>RDF/JSON is used to express arbitrary application data; security considerations will vary by domain of use. Security tools and protocols applicable to text (e.g. PGP encryption, MD5 sum validation, password-protected compression) may also be used on Turtle documents. Security/privacy protocols must be imposed which reflect the sensitivity of the embedded information.</dd>
-          <dd>RDF/JSON can express data which is presented to the user, for example, RDF Schema labels. Application rendering strings retrieved from untrusted RDF/JSON documents must ensure that malignant strings may not be used to mislead the reader. The security considerations in the media type registration for XML ([[!RFC3023]] section 10) provide additional guidance around the expression of arbitrary data and markup.</dd>
-          <dd>RDF/JSON uses IRIs as term identifiers. Applications interpreting data expressed in Turtle should address the security issues of

+    <p>The suggested media type for RDF/JSON is "application/rdf+json".</p>
 
-          <dd>Multiple IRIs may have the same appearance. Characters in different scripts may 
-    look similar (a Cyrillic &quot;&#1086;&quot; may appear similar to a Latin &quot;o&quot;). A character followed 
-    by combining characters may have the same visual representation as another character 
-    (LATIN SMALL LETTER E followed by COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT has the same visual representation 
-    as LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE).
-    <!-- (<code>foo:resum&#40751;code> and <code>f&#1086;&#1086;:resume&#769;</code>)-->
-    Any person or application that is writing or interpreting data in RDF/JSON must take care to use the IRI that matches the intended semantics, and avoid IRIs that make look similar.
