iteration order for Object

[Charles Kendrick]

Probably the language which most commonly handles JSON is JavaScript itself.  So a major chunk 
of the benefit, possibly even the majority of the benefit, would be immediate: eval(), 
application config files expressed in JSON, etc.

And as you alluded to (also I CAN HAZ CUSTIM CLAZZES?) JSON will probably eventually have versions.
