Re: JSON content

So I fixed this. In fact we were pretty vague about it already; although  
we point to rfc4627.txt (which specifies the application/json mediatype),  
it is only a non-normative reference. I added a link to the IANA list of  
mediatypes, also non-normatively.

Otherwise we only say "When an XForms Processor receives a JSON value".

There is one other place where we specifically mention application/json,  
but that is for the serialize attribute of <submission/>, and you can use  
@mediatype on that element to specify the actual mediatype to use.
