Indeed, and what James wants is not an option -- it's exactly that
discussion that had me initially say that we don't have consensus on
where to go.  The only options on the table for now, because of the
late change, are these:

1. application/json-patch
2. application/json-patch+json

I see strong consensus for (2), and am *only* asking for objections to
that.  You might prefer something else, but do you *object* to (2)?
That's the only question.

James, are you OK with (2), given that it's not your preference?

[By the way: IANA made the registration for (2) yesterday:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application
If we have to revert it because of objections here, we can.]
