Clarify data model regarding binary data #942

Commits on May 31, 2020

  1. Generalize data model language 

    It is advantageous in hypermedia environments to apply untyped
schemas to binary data, despite the lack of a truly suitable
mapping into the data model.

  2. "contentMediaType" can describe binary resources 

    This expansion of contentMediaType is motivated by the need to
indicate media types for binary resources in hypermedia environments.

Existing usage (e.g. OpenAPI 3.0) considered unencoded binary data
to be strings, but such data violates the expectations of JSON strings.
A better approach is to purely indicate the media type and avoid
constraining the instance by JSON type as no JSON type is suitable.
