I agree. Furthermore I believe the notion of converting XML and JSON to and from each other is the wrong approach altogether. Instead I believe the emphasis should be upon creating a standard format for JSON in which can be referenced and queried by XPath in such a way that regardless of whether the incoming format is XML or JSON, the same XPath applied to both will result in the same generalized result set.

In fact, if not mistaken, this is what Mike Champion and friends have been discussing over in the MSFT camp for several years now, which makes sense when you look at what they're doing with LINQ-to-*.
