Tim,

When I talk about existing software I'm referring to generic JSON parsers such as are included in the basic library set of every programming language now, and which are unfortunately idiosyncratic and inconsistent in their handling of dupe keys, but in almost no cases actually inform the calling software whether or not dupe keys were encountered.
Thanks for the clarifying comments. I am still a bit puzzled, though. I thought JWK was a proposal to establish JSON formats for key transport. Are you saying that the formats we are about to standardize have been in use in JSON for a while and that's why parsers are not prepared to reject dupe keys? Or is this a lower layer, JS issue re partsing?

Steve
