Just to be clear, me neither. So +1 re. comments above.

We want the Logic in the Data via Linked Data Structures constructed 
using Hyperlinks. This can be achieved using JSON just as its been 
achieved using XML, and (X)HTML re. Linked Data.

Programming languages can deal webby linked data however they choose, 
most already support HTTP so they're already en route re. HTTP based 
Linked Data :-)
