Overall looks good, just a few minor concerns with adaptation/
interoperability:

- Non-ASCII octets escaping "\DDD" may lead to broken implementations
and/or encoding problem (oh so many printf()'ed JSON implementations out
there)

- The use of "!" and "*" in object attribute names will make it hard to
use in language that can read JSON and give out native objects such as
JavaScript.

Cheers,
Jerry
