Looking at
<https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-jsonbis-rfc7159bis-03.txt&url1=rfc7159>,
I see:
"Section 15.2 has been updated to remove ECMA 404, update the version of
ECMA-262, and refresh the errata list."
However, the ECMA-262 reference changes from
[ECMA-262] Ecma International, "ECMAScript Language Specification
Edition 5.1", Standard ECMA-262, June 2011,
<http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/
Ecma-262.htm>.
to
[ECMA-262]
Ecma International, "ECMAScript Language Specification,
Third Edition", Standard ECMA-262, December 1999,
<http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/
ECMA-ST-ARCH/
ECMA-262,%203rd%20edition,%20December%201999.pdf>.
...which looks like a downgrade to me.
I believe this should be:
[ECMA-262] Ecma International, "ECMAScript(R) 2016 Language
Specification, 7th Edition", ECMA 262, June 2016,
<https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/7.0/>.
Best regards, Julian
Hello Julian,
the rationale for referencing third edition specifically is to give
evidence of the JSON's specification history. Maybe the word "update"
is debatable here, but I think the reference itself is valid.
