I agree, I'm not sure there is a rational default for Map, but
I think there is one for Set as an array (and it seems like
most people agreed).
As with Set, I claim the default JSON for Map should be
[[key1, value1], ~~~ [keyN, valueN]]
I'm still curious about my question from yesterday; instead of
repasting, I put it in a gist:
https://gist.github.com/3837337
If the Map serializes as [[k1, v1], ~~~ [kN, vN]] then the deserializer
could risk interpreting such as a Map. Better would be for the
serializer to make the Map encoding the *value* of a by-convention key
whose name implies the value is a Map serialization.
Still a level up from core JS, but as Allen said, that's part of the
equation. This is not a core-language serialization-via-JSON protocol,
because JSON is frozen as-is for all time.

with ~~~ as meta-ellipsis.
This is not a round-tripping seralization, any more than
[elt1, ~~~ eltN]
is for Set. It simply is the normal form expected by the Map
constructor. That wins.
