    I can kind of understand it after having to work with an XML file where users encoded data into comments for no good reason. But yeah, it does make JSON awkward for lots of potential use-cases.

      This would undoubtedly, unquestionably happen, and it would break JSON. The only reason it works so well is because comments aren’t allowed.
