Again a short reply before going through the full mail:

I'm curious: Is JSON-LD at all able to derive, from the above (I took
the liberty to abbreviate and add a second rt), statements like

<http://.../3300/1/> a core:s, some:temperature ;
    some:self <http://.../3300/1/>; core:unit "C" ;
<http://.../3300/1/5700> a some:currentValue ;
    core:grp <http://.../3300/1>;
    some:value "31.3"

? That would require matching the bn and n for URI concatenation and
whitespace-splitting the rt attribute.

If it is possible -- great, and it might serve as a criterion for a
bufferlessly parsable SenML that it can be transformed using JSON-LD.
But as far as I remember, it can't do that even for -01, and unless that
can be fixed, I don't see much of a point in using it as an example.

Best regards
Christian
