Hi All,

Sorry about the late late answer, but actually a JSON would be very nice to 
have when using very old browsers, which still exists in many set-top boxes 
(STB). In that scenario in would be easier and a lot faster to have JSON 
instead of XML. In fact in some STBs the default browser is mozilla 1.7.12..

So on the client side, using BOSH, this could be a nice extension. Maybe a 
change in the BOSH server could be proposed. I think I will change my own BOSH 
server so it can serve back JSON instead of XML if a parameter in the body i 
set (along with the other parameters).

-Cheers!
