OK, I’ve got a i-json-01 in progress at
http://www.tbray.org/tmp/draft-ietf-json-i-json-01.html which I think
captures all the consensus calls and also includes a “Protocol-design
Recommendations” section and drops the array-or-object top-level constraint.

Diffs at
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=http://www.tbray.org/tmp/draft-ietf-json-i-json-00.txt&url2=http://www.tbray.org/tmp/draft-ietf-json-i-json-01.txt
