One more point to this discussion. I understand Peter's criticism, and it is good that he provokes the group in making some of the issues clear. That being said, if the WG decided not to do a JSON serialization _solely on ground of a missing 'standard'_, I think the community would simply not understand this and would see this as yet another argument why W3C as a whole, and the Semantic Web in particular, should be regarded as irrelevant for the Web out there. I would prefer not to go there.
