    <thetext>Step 5 says &quot;Return the result of serializing result to JSON.&quot; but doesn&apos;t define how to serialize it. I suggest referencing JSON.stringify from [ECMA262] section 15.12.3 with no replacer or space parameter given, such that it is exactly equivalent to calling JSON.stringify(result).</thetext>

    <thetext>I guess JSON does leave some things undefined.

Status: Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: Concurred with reporter&apos;s comments.

(I didn&apos;t refer to JS because it&apos;s not a JS object we&apos;re serialising here, so it&apos;s an extra unnecessary layer of abstraction.)</thetext>
