I haven't actually figured out what the benefit would be, other than

Not exactly, because in hstore all the element values have to be,
specifically, text. Having hstores of other kinds of objects would,
presumably, be useful.
I love hstore, and I've used it a lot, but I don't think there's much future
in doing this. This is part of what JSON would buy us, isn't it?
Just wondering about JSON, are there anyone who signed already to work on JSON
or it's just a theoretical discussions ? If so, I agree, having JSON
properly implemented and simple wrapper for hstore just for compatibility, would
be very nice.
