There may be many other situations in which there is benefit to having JSON 
be a proper subset of ECMAscript. For example, one can imagine tool chains 
used for development or testing that would depend on the ability to copy 
text fragments between JSON and ECMAscript source documents, and one might 
foresee more "vertical" standards that would depend on the commonality as 
well.
