As a producer of schemas for my own purposes, I always feel like I'm
likely doing something wrong when I hack up XML, and I'm most likely
right since I haven't -- and don't want to -- read half of the RFC's.
Not so with JSON. I read 4627 through and thought -- groovy, nothing
more than meets the eye! It's impossible to sin!

Mike, and yes JSON will turn to crap if it gets loved to death
