Chris,
A couple of months ago, I completed a GML Viewer as part of an OGC Testbed. (Press release and download from http://communitymapbuilder.org/display/MAP/GML+Viewer+1.0 )

One of our key findings was that JSON would be a better transfer format for Browsers as XML parsing took ~ 10 times as long as SVG/VML rendering.

What next: OGC members have suggested writing a white paper explaining the advantages of JSON over GML, after which JSON might become incorporated as an alternative format for OGC standards. (Another thing on my todo list).

As a side note, I think the Chris Holmes has included JSON as an output format for Geoserver.

Hi,
http://jdil.org describes a simple scheme for implementing namespaced vocabularies (including RDF vocabularies) in JSON. The idea is general, but the examples (and our own applications here at Platial) are in the Geo domain. -- Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------
