First, I'll note that you seem to be saying something quite different from
John and Norbert (I think).

Second, I think the disagreement you've highlighted is real, although think
it's phrased very helpfully. The crux of the matter is that the JavaScript
implementations will not change, and they are material to the success of
JSON and this Working Group, so they need to be documented.
