Why would you say that?

> Insignificant whitespace is allowed before or after any of the six structural characters.

Where whitespace may be space, carriage return, line feed, or horizontal tab. It's explicitly valid JSON.

ok - but my point is that it's a protocol, that is more specific than json i.e. streaming JSON in full generality has problems. if you want to restrict yourself to a subset and create a protocol, thats great - but it's not really "streaming JSON"
