Those concerns have not been expressed directly to the IETF's JSON Working Group. I say this as one of the two co-chairs of the JSON WG. If TC39 wants to express "deep concern", they certainly know where to do so. Them doing so sooner rather than later would be helpful all around. I would note that some of the possibly-incompatible changes to RFC 4627 that are being discussed relate to places where the RFC is self-contradictory or blatantly unclear. In such cases, leaving the RFC alone might just as easily lead to incompatible implementations as clarifications would. That is going to have be determined by the IETF's consensus process. No one can force anyone here to follow the official WG discussion for the successor to RFC 4627, of course. However, given that some people on this list are JSON experts, if you don't want to participate in the evolution of the RFC, I would be interested in hearing (possibly off-list) why that is. Part of the job of the chairs is to make sure experts feel welcome in the IETF process. --Paul Hoffman On Sat, Jun 8, 2013 at 5:31 PM, Yehuda Katz <[email protected]> wrote: > At two TC39 meetings, members of TC39 expressed deep concern about the > prospect of incompatible changes to JSON by the IETF.
