Interesting question - I think it depends what suits me ;-). When Simon says JSON is good enough most of the time I think how unlikely I would be to give up XPath, XQuery and XSLT. When Simon talks about subsetting XML I think about ditching DTDs and bringing some sanity to namespaces. A lot of the other technologies don't cause me pain because I don't use them and I rarely have to support customers who use them.
