Oh, I think you have something, but I don't think JSON and JCOF are comparable. I think it makes a very interesting replacement for formats where there is a header line like CSV, TSV. JCOF allows for some level of consistent nested structures (which would be nice for header/detail records which are really common in the real world) and would be so much nicer than many of the bespoke formats you see out there... and also, sooo much more efficient than XML, and without the issues that come with XML. Incidentally, these kinds of uses are where JSON really doesn't work well because you always have the potential of a mis-shaped object.
In short: nice work. Might be fun to roll an implementation or two :-)
