Hilarious! ECMA-404. My neighbor's address is 404 West Whatever Street and I can't look at their mailbox without wondering if mail is correctly delivered there...

I'm guessing it may help bring JSON to use in the more restrictive companies that are scared of 'nonstandard' file formats. The kind that currently uses XML for everything.

More of a formality than anything else. Since JSON was already defined by Javascript, formalizing it doesn't really engrave the standard, it just gives it the recognition that its not just some whacky thing created by Dave.

I'd be interested to know if this has any impact on the "don't be evil" clause in the JSON license.
