Proposed vocabulary additions/changes - general rolling overview

[danbri]

2020 update

This was an earlier attempt to try to triage incoming suggestions into higher level groupings. We didn't keep up, hence #2573 and the creation of the suggestions-questions-brainstorming repo. The need still exists but I'm going to close this issue for now (and then move it over to that repo). --danbri@

Original text

This issue accompanies the rolling planning issue (#1) by providing at-a-glance view into the pile of vocabulary changes collected nearby. This is where "Closed but Noted (and possible Queued)" issues should be registered by the schema.org team. Doing so allows us to have an overview of potential work, and to avoid being overwhelmed with 100s of open issues. See our github issue management page for more details.
