Based on the historical shape of JSON, it is still a widely held belief that JSON is self-delimiting (as apparently recently witnessed again in an application for an ALPN name for “the JSON protocol”).  So I actually do think this parenthesis is useful, unless we cut out the whole observation about JSON not being self-delimiting.  I would prefer to leave this in.
