I'm not sure how dropping comma separators would work in practice, because carriage returns aren't required between array or hash elements in JSON.

So this would also have to be legal:

   { "foo": "bar" "baz": "quux" }

I'm not sure that's better, personally. It's also syntactically invalid in Javascript:

   > "bar" "baz"
   SyntaxError: Unexpected string

You could use "line-break" instead - but I also don't see really the point in removing comma's in the first place.
