I agree with you that XML is a much more mature product, and JSON has many glaring holes in it (DateTime?). However, I hope that I didn't imply that I...

And what if, despite what your rational mind says, you can't even leave the problem alone when you're asleep?
Yes, it happens to me sometimes. I once wrote a blog-post on...

I dislike both types of 'forum manners' intensely. For some reason, the database architects tend to fight like tigers on forums and newsgroups. Just have a look at this...
