If there is no reciprocal normative reference from some version of ECMA 404
with status at least equivalent to last call then I strongly agree.  Drop the
reference and go forward with the other fixes.

The whole idea of having the normative reference to ECMA 404 was to emphasize
that there is agreement from both sides that the two documents will always
agree on what is JSON.  The current version of 7159bis states the IETF side of
that agreement but there is nothing at all from the ECMA side.
