;-)  

JSON is not particularly my cup-of-tea but it is better than many
other things exactly for one reason (everybody and their dog have
heard of it), and certainly is much superiour than inventing our own
ad-hoc format.  

Thanks for working on this (I do not expect I would see an immediate
need for this myself, though).
