For example, Firefox 3 implements a native JSON

The de jure spec for JSON, RFC 4627, doesn't specify error handling on the level one would expect from a WHATWG spec. Instead, the RFC says: "A JSON parser MAY accept non-JSON forms or extensions."

The JSON parsers I've used in non-browser contexts have been Draconian and incompatible with existing content such as output from del.icio.us, which can contain escaped single quotes, which isn't allowed in proper JSON.
