I should have re-read this more carefully. Something (which wasn't germane anyway) is wrong:

"...subsequent diddling when parsed, even when JSON data are elegantly formatted for readability."

is wrong.

"...subsequent diddling, even when JSON data are elegantly formatted for readability."

is correct.

I.e., "when parsed" doesn't belong there.
