If we are to accept an extended syntax, then it should be absolutely
clear what those extensions are. I have no idea what the URL above

Apart from unquoted keys, two other extensions I have seen are C-style
comments, and support for the floating-point values of infinity and NaN.
Are there other potential extensions?
