Is JSON serialization/deserialization still being considered there? The most recent message I could find on es4-discuss is <https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es4-discuss/2008-March/002397.html>, which states that JSON serialization was removed (but might reappear). I'm certainly not an expert at this process, but is a whole spec needed? It seems like <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt> contains most of the details. Maybe there tricky issues with non-tree object structures? Adam
