xml2rfcv2 has changed some of the indentation logic with respect to v1.

In the documents I have been working on, these changes generally were improvements.

Looking at http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=rfc4627&url2=draft-ietf-json-rfc4627bis-04, this generally seems to be the case here as well.

There are a couple of lines that would benefit from more indentation; 
from the XML and the xml2rfcv2 code I cannot see why they look the way they do (i.e., these may be bugs in xml2rfcv2; there also is a spurious newline at the end of the one-liners):

  JSON-text = object / array
  ws = *(
  false null true
  array = begin-array [ value *( value-separator value ) ] end-array
