<no hat>

The goal of this document is to maximize interoperability. RFC 4627 and other specs had the rule that JSON texts had to be objects or arrays. Restricting JSON texts *in this profile* maximizes interoperability better than RFC 7159 did.

This profile is not meant to be correcting RFC 7159; it is meant to be giving a profile that maximizes interoperability.
