I seem to have not received that mail of James Manger. But maybe some 
feedback on top of that "bridged" comment:

We define a profile here, extending JSON-text (seen as a core).
So how someone implemented her JSON-text parser is not our business.
How we suggest parsing our decorating functionality is our business.
Maybe the single nicely coined "natural language rule" would suffice.

If we use ABNF, I suggested how to translate the simple recipe of this 
profile "just add at least one newline character between JSON-texts and 
you're done" into a concise ABNF plus relating (as a service) to the 
overlapping construct in the referenced JSON-text grammar.
why not have the same term stand out in the grammar, that we use in the 
nicely coined "natural language rule"?


All the best,
Stefan.
