That's not irony.  Irony would be a member of the OWL working group
complaining that JSON is too complicated.  



However, I'm not complaining that JSON is too complicated (and I am
hoping that JSON does indeed turn out to be relatively simple).  I am
complaining that requiring the understanding of essentially the entire
definition of a complex programming language to understand JSON is not
effective.

PS: I've been known to verge on complaining that RDF is too compliated.
