Since we decided to add a mechanism to clear the active context (in issue #78), we can't rely on the initial context anymore. Instead we should specify that the information currently contained in the initial context has to be hardcoded in a compliant JSON-LD parser.

PROPOSAL: Remove initial context from API spec and define that compliant JSON-LD parsers have to automatically coerce the value of `@type` to an IRI.
