I too am a bit 'meh' on the self identification part.  (Knowing it's I-JSON 
is not even half way to knowing what you really want to know surely.)

Extending it to something like:

    "urn:ietf:i-json:jose" : true

or:

    "urn:ietf:i-json:com.codalogic:myprotocol:v2" : true

has some attraction though.  Although I think this would be more in the 
realms of convention than requirement.

Or an alternative syntax of:

    "urn:ietf:i-json" : "jose"
or:
    "urn:ietf:i-json" : "com.codalogic.myprotocol.v2"
