It would be mostly trivial to do (a simple XSLT should be able to
transform the relevant RDF bits into JSON), and should also be easy to
integrate in the current publication workflow.

But note that the JSON file would have the same problem as the RDF one,
namely that the order of the editors would be wrong — getting this fixed
in the RDF file has been a long standing bug. 

A few questions, though:
* do we want the equivalent of ReSpec.js' biblio.js, or a JSON file with
more structured data on the specs?
* if the latter, can anyone propose a sample of what the JSON properties
should be?

Denis, is it something you would have cycles and interest to work on? I
can help if needed, but would rather not drive it unless nobody else
can.
