Based on what I've been able to follow, I'd include JSON but indicate that

out of any criticism that it will get for being less complete than the
opposition. I would view it as a promise of further improvement in 9.3.

As for the WeirdNewTypes, it needs a simple lo-tech way of explaining it.
Maybe a short, simple example of how it is applied.
