I would just ask why you didn't use Bill Dueber's already existing
proto-spec, instead of making up your own incomptable one.
I'd think we could somehow all do the same consistent thing here.
Since my interest in marc-json is getting as small a package as possible
for transfer accross the wire, I prefer Bill's approach.

Subject: RE: [CODE4LIB] Q: XML2JSON converter
Depending on how much time I get next week I'll talk with the developer
network folks to see what I need to do to put a specification under
their infrastructure
I finished documenting our existing use of MARC-JSON. The specification can be
found on the OCLC developer network wiki [1]. Since it is a wiki, registered
developer network members can edit the specification and I would ask that you
refrain from doing so.
However, please do use the discussion tab to record issues with the
specification or add additional information to existing issues. There are
already two open issues on the discussion tab and you can use them as a
template for new issues. The first issue is Bill Dueber's request for some
sort of versioning and the second issue is whether the specification should
specify the flavor of MARC, e.g., marc21, unicode, etc.
It is recommended that you place issues on the discussion tab since that will
be the official place for documenting and disposing of them. I do monitor this
listserve and the OCLC developer network listserve, but I only selectively look
at messages on those listserves. If you would like to use this listserve or
the OCLC developer network listserve to discuss the MARC-JSON specification,
make sure you place MARC-JSON in the subject line, to give me a clue that I
*should* look at that message, or directly CC my e-mail address on your post.
This message marks the beginning of a two week comment period on the
specification which will end on midnight 2010-03-28.

Thanks, Andy.
