I read on Niall Kennedy that del.icio.us has come up with an API that returns a JSON structure, and I figured, sheez it can’t be that hard to parse, so let’s see what it looks like, and damn, IT’S NOT EVEN XML! [...] Who did this travesty? Let’s find a tree and string them up. Now.

Ah, good to know that my "ignore everything DW touches" policy is still a good one.
JSON's new motto should be "IT'S NOT EVEN XML!"
JSON: I can't believe it's not XML!
I read on Dave Winer's blog that he has RSS feeds, and I figured, sheez it can't be that hard to parse, so let's see what it looks like, and damn, IT'S NOT EVEN XML! Who did this travesty? Let's find a tree and string them up. Now.

Oh my, that is great.
If Dave Winer jokes about killing you, does that get you a Winer number of -1?

I love that you used a 'lynching' tag.

The notion of a Winer/Crockford smackdown is amusing. I'd bill it as "The Battle of the Network Curmudgeons".
Crockford's comeback in the discussion linked off that page is fantastic: "The good thing about reinventing the wheel is that you can get a round one."
