Well. In that case, why is the 3rd edition a specifically good one to cite?

Best regards, Julian

Third Edition is where the object literal syntax (from whence JSON was
begotten) made its appearance.  Also, the latest editions of ECMA-262
doesn't discuss JSON the data format; that is what (for them) ECMA-404
is for.

OK. A few words about this, either in the place where it's referenced, or as annotation of the reference, would be helpful.
