Since Martin has mentioned that the json-rpc layer will be rewritten to
conform to spec 2.0 and to remove non-standard behavior, I wanted to discuss
the following point ahead of time:

At least two things are "non-standard" in the current implementation that
Derrell has designed: the JSON date encoding and the "server_data" property
of the jsonrpc request. I don't have strong opinions on the Date issue -- I
know Derrell does ;-) -- but I am relying heavily alot on the server_data
(data sent in addition to the service method request to the server). This
data is used to send session data which is of no interest to the individual
method called, but important for my server to distinguish between
authenticated and non-authenticated requests. 

Since this feature will certainly be removed (not being part of the official
jsonrpc specs), I want to make sure there is a replacement. Since we're
using HTTP, one solution could be to move the server_data into cookies or
HTTP headers which can then be picked up by the server side. 

Any other ideas how json-rpc "meta-data" that might be necessary to keep
state can be implemented compatible with json-rpc?

Thanks,

Christian
