I don't know. Namespaces can be complex, yes -- if you use them. You are not obliged to. Also, XML schemas and XSLT are immensely useful (the lack of schemas is one of the most annoying issues with JSON).

JSON doesn't lack schemas: http://json-schema.org/

And yes, you absolutely do have to use namespaces when working with a third-party protocol that chooses to use them. You can't opt out.
