​Actually, the JSON working group is under no illusion that shipping I-JSON
as an RFC is going to magically cause existing JSON software to fix this
issue (although I’m optimistic that implementations will pop up pretty
quickly, because it’s not hard).

The value of I-JSON is that it takes all the things that we’ve observed to
cause interop problems in practical JSON, that in some cases have had to be
explicitly argued-over in other contexts (like we’re doing here), and in a
short simple document says “don’t do any of these things”.​  So it’ll be
handy as a spec-writer’s tool even before the software catches up.
