If you did all of that you'd still fall way short of what you have been able to do with XML for probably 10 years. XSD defines structure in terms of inheritance, composition, strong types, numerical ranges, enumerations, referential integrity, namespaces.

Those things aren't a goal or desired feature of most JSON use. There's a reason people hated SOAP. XML is better suited for documents. For everything else, XML doesn't work very well.
