After “living” in the XQuery W3C working group for 15 years….. I don’t doubt you had. I am just happy I was not there.
But, sorry, W3C took the wrong decision: in one instant with this decision, you lost the JSON community.
Is this not a variant of the Worse is Better argument (or did I not properly understand that essay...... probably).
The issue with many JSON people is that they don't seem to acknowledge the need for interoperability with XML so the utility of a "bilingual language" probably doesn't resonate.

Without wishing to appear informed can I ask a question.
Was the Crockfordesque faction represented in the composition of the WG or was it (of necessity) a bunch of XML people talking about how to support JSON?
