However as it is unwise to feed JSON into an ECMAscript processor for
security reasons, that dependency may not affect code, just mean that
JSON and ECMAscript parsers can share parts at the moment.
There may be many other situations in which there is benefit to having JSON
be a proper subset of ECMAscript. For example, one can imagine tool chains
used for development or testing that would depend on the ability to copy
text fragments between JSON and ECMAscript source documents, and one might
foresee more "vertical" standards that would depend on the commonality as
well.
