Thats why I said POSH should define how comments shpuld be defined.
Almost any JSON parser provides a syntax for comments (e.g. using # or
//) and I'm unable to understand why comments in JSON aren't standardized.

And if I read the draft for POSH, e.g. setion 8. shows why one (human)
would like to have comments.
