While it is useful and necessary to have a spec the audience is the author who doesn't need to know or understand all the bracket and curly business. All she needs is a list of benefits and a text editor claimed to produce OpenPub format. Even the upload mechanism can be omitted.

The fake news narrative is kind of reactionary. The flaws in journalism are much more basic. As investigations cost money the level of investigation needs to be documented along with the publication. If I was to coin something like this I would make mandatory fields for Human Sources, Institutions and publications. That way the reader has at least some context.

I would also hammer out an ongoing review system that takes us beyond "author" and "publisher" with the ability to dynamically correct it self if new facts require it.
