The JSON format itself is already specified. The de jure spec for JSON, RFC 4627, doesn't specify error handling on the level one would expect from a WHATWG spec. Instead, the RFC says: "A JSON parser MAY accept non-JSON forms or extensions." http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt The JSON parsers I've used in non-browser contexts have been Draconian and incompatible with existing content such as output from del.icio.us, which can contain escaped single quotes, which isn't allowed in proper JSON. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
