Believe it or not, there is a proposal for a third format (the 
'tree' format).

I wish one of the two got dropped. I'm using SDL now since it's 
officially recommended, but I'd prefer to only keep JSON since it 
is a clear format that newcomers don't need to familiarize with, 
while SDL (still) to me looks like a bunch of tags floating 
around without clear structure.

Keeping only SDL is fine to me too, it's better than having two 
competing standards.
