I'm not sure rdf:type should be any different than any other property of
a resource.

Thus, the rules in [0] :
        1.0 For each property of a resource
        
            * 1.1 Add field to the resource's JSON object with name set to Prefixed Name of property
                  o 1.1.1 If the property is specified as a single-valued property, then make field's value literal or JSON Object
                  o 1.1.2 If the property is specified as a multi-valued property, then make field's value JSON Array 
        
would lead me to believe that unique rdf types should not be arrays and multiple ones should.

Any other opinions ?
