There is only one factual claim above. Text formats that use Unicode
signatures are the exception and not the rule. JSON as defined in RFC
4627 is an example format that does not use them; there is no need to
use Unicode signatures for JSON as explained in RFC 4627. It might be
desirable to use Unicode signatures in JSON and the authors of the
XMLHttpRequest proposal are welcome to suggest this to the IETF JSON
Working Group. The same goes for the other differences.
