> If comma's are an annoyance, is that to mean there is no annoyance with XML markup? You can forget a closing tag just as easily That's not the same thing at all. The commas in JSON are equivalent to the whitespace between attributes in XML. A missing closing tag in XML would be equivalent to forgetting to close an object literal or array in JSON. So no, there's no equivalent XML annoyance to what he's asking for, XML is already fixed in the manner he suggests.
