I would definitely support a JSON output for Bird. Embedding an http server shouldn't be very difficult, and would allow anyone to build its own looking glass using simple javascript.
It's actually what I did for FranceIX: a Bird to JSON wrapper sits on the route-server, and then I just proxy request from an Apache server to pretty print everything. The most complicated part was to write the JSON wrapper, not the front-end. Unix socket with telnet like interface is nice, but a bit outdated when you like at todays available technologies. My 2 cents ;) Jerome.
