One issue with a canonical form is that you probably want to use a
Unicode Normalization Form (NFC) as a generic step (http://unicode.org/reports/tr15/
). Also, lexicographic order is relative to a l18n profile in Unicode
because different languages sort the same Unicode characters
differently. Given that you need something universal, I think code-
point ordering is a better solution.
OLPC has a start on canonical JSON: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Canonical_JSON

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever
