Given the above, do you think there is a valid case to be made for a serialization format other than JavaScript source itself?

No, I do not. I've cooled on the idea since last talking about it on this list.

But as Mark pointed out in reply (sorry, I've been off-net all day and am only now catching up) a JsonML AST encoding standard would help certain programs. Narcissus could be a lot faster if it could call a standard method to parse its source into such a JSON object tree and then execute that, for example (almost all profiled time running Narcissus is in its lexer and parser).
