Carsten's detailed history of JSON (which I fully agree with, having 
been there for it in different roles) again points out the difficulty of 
draft-iab-protocol-maintenance: many of the definitive statements in it 
about what worked/works and what didn't/doesn't are easy to get wrong 
due to limited viewpoints. Having bad examples weakens the overall goal 
of the document, and many readers might be turned off to the document 
once they hit the second example they disagree with.
