> Instance annotations in JSON are differentiated from regular properties by the presence of one ore more dots (.) in the name.
> This convention assumes that people won't typically have dots in their property names. However, it's come to my attention that there are cases where people are representing name/value pairs in JSON that have dots in the name.
> Adding the "@" prefix makes it much easier to distinguish annotations, and is consistent with assigning an annotation to a property (basically, prop@ns.annotation clearly means the annotation is applied to a property, while just @ns.annotation means it is applied to the containing object). 
> Finally, adding the "@" sets up the opportunity for better alignment with JSON-LD, who also prefixes their "annotations" with "@".
