that point is moot with xml, since xml (and don't even get me started on xslt) is as much of a mess as json.

Go try to nest a few XML documents and then came back saying if you still love it, or even if you still consider it a well-define standard.

I’m very confused. What’s hard about nesting XML documents? That’s one of XML’s strengths, and JSON’s weaknesses, because JSON doesn’t have namespaces.
