The new text should use language that is already in RFC 4627; "key" is not such a word. To be fair to implementers, the new document also needs to deal with both emitters and parsers. Proposal: In Section 2.2: Current: The names within an object SHOULD be unique. Proposed: If the names within an object are not unique, the result of parsing the object is unpredictable, and the parse may even fail completely. Thus, the names within an object SHOULD be unique. In Section 4, add a new paragraph: If a parser encounters an object with duplicate names, the parser MAY fail to parse the JSON text; if the parser accepts objects with duplicate names, it SHOULD accept only the last name/value pair that has the duplicate name. --Paul Hoffman
