Also: can we cut a bit of redundancy? If the ting has an id of the form "Q[number]" it is per definition an item. No need to mention that again. (The reason here is serialization effort, not deserialization in any way)
It is likely that it will not be possible to tell the entity type from the entity id for all entity types introduced in the future.
Is there any planned date when "soon in the future" will be? What would be the best way to join the discussion of the upcoming format? Is there a proposal anywhere? Also: the Json descriptions in the wikidata wiki seem outdated…
Sorry for the passive-agressive tune, but having to write a ner Json (de)serialization every quarter year is not that productive.
Well, on the up side, it will really motivate people to use Wikidata Toolkit ;-)
