Not sure what's confusing. "[01]" is not valid JSON. JSON being a subset of JavaScript means that all valid JSON constructs are valid JavaScript constructs. So, the subset statement says nothing at all about "[01]"

That said, in theory, shouldn't: JSON.parse("0o10") === 8? I get SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1

  No. Valid json is valid JavaScript. Valid JavaScript is not, necessarily, valid json.

    Thanks, I misunderstood the proposal, which apparently applies mostly to "unescaped LINE SEPARATOR or PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR characters" within strings.

  JSON.parse("(function() { })") doesn't parse either, despite being valid JavaScript. Both constructs are specific to JavaScript, and do not exist in JSON. Hence, JSON is a subset of JavaScript.
