I agree.  Furthermore I believe the notion of converting XML and JSON to  
and from each other is the wrong approach altogether.  Instead I believe  
the emphasis should be upon creating a standard format for JSON in which  
can be referenced and queried by XPath in such a way that regardless of  
whether the incoming format is XML or JSON, the same XPath applied to both  
will result in the same generalized result set.

In fact, if not mistaken, this is what Mike Champion and friends have been  
discussing over in the MSFT camp for several years now, which makes sense  
when you look at what they're doing with LINQ-to-*.
