I still don't understand what you're getting at.  If a value in JSON
begins with a digit or sign, it's a number; if it begins with a quote,
it's a string; if it begins with [ or {, it is an array or object;
if it is true, false, or null, it's those special objects.  It can't
begin with a <, so we just say that in JAXON, if it begins with <, it is
an XML element.  Done.
