Why do we use html instead of json?
With so many HTML junkyards out there - it's a de-facto standard. Same with XML. The moment I saw XML's <tag>...</tag> - I asked - why don't we just use <tag>...</> to save 15% of world's bandwidth?

How about gzip compression? It's not like you can gain anything by using JSON compared to HTML, when gzip is enabled.
