I was going to say I have no problem with requiring a final line break. However... you got me thinking... and I checked json.org. As I feared, there is no requirement for a final line break in JSON. So, it seems that for JSON compatibility, we must allow omitting it. I guess I'll have to fix that. Sigh. Getting JSON compatibility right turned out to be quite a PITA. Tweaking b-non-content is an interesting notion... However it is used in productions 70, 164 and 166 and the effect would be confusing. You'll end up in a case where final line breaks may be omitted if they are stripped but not if kept, or something along these lines. It would probably be better to explicitly allow for EOF in the comment productions (71, 76, 77, 168), so the final line break would be optional only if it is in a "comment" (or where a comment is allowed). I'm in http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/ this weekend so I won't get around to it until Monday at the earliest. _Very_ nice catch! Thanks!
