If it needs to be a superset, then you've lost the value. Surely the _point_ of using a standard syntax is _not_ having to say "It's like X... _except_ that A, B and C". JSON is designed for arbitrary values and nesting; it has the usual standard primitives (number, string, array, hash). It's the less verbose and far easier to understand alternative to XML, and it's becoming the web's data interchange format. If we are going with an already-standard syntax, it's the clear front runner IMO. Gerv
