Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't. If TC39 said ECMA-404 is going to be replaced by a verbatim copy of the ABNF grammar in draft-ietf-json-rfc4627bis-08 with pretty much no other discussion of JSON and a clear indication that future editions will not add such discussion, and will not change the grammar without IETF con- sensus, I would be willing to entertain the idea of making ECMA-404 a normative reference. How soon would TC39 be able to make such a decision and publish a re- vised edition of ECMA-404 as described above? -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
