At this point, I'd settle for JSON5 (http://json5.org/), which says any JSON that's a valid ECMAScript 5 object is valid JSON (including trailing commas, unquoted keys, single quote strings, and comments). I don't think it's very popular at this point though, but I guess I've never tried to use it.

This is a good idea. Also browser makers won't feel like they're supporting another format. It's just a modernized version of JSON.
