For me lack of validation and comments are many steps down, not up.

JSON files don't have validation support like XML schema does.

Maybe not built in like DTD, closer to XML Schema in its laid-on-top manner, but I would argue that JSON Schema is fairly good, and on its way to becoming an IETF standard: http://json-schema.org/ and https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-handrews-json-schema-01 (et al)

The lack of obvious namespace management is suboptimal, but so far I thankfully haven't encountered a situation where it was a show-stopper.

IntelliJ and related tools also allow associating a json schema with a YAML file, which I have found infinitely handy

JSON Schema is actually pretty great.
