I've put together http://wiki.geojson.org/GeoJDIL , which is my best
effort to describe best practice. Specifically:
 * If you have a sane value for '@type', use it. GeoJSON will ignore it.
 * If you don't have a sane value for type, and you want to leave it
   out, you can. 
 * If you see the 'Feature' type as being useful, you can move
   that into the '@type' string -- but it *has* to exist in the 'type'
   string as well.
