Yeah, this was talked about on Friday but I guess Cassie didn't have time to mail the list before going on vacation.
It's possible to implement the spec (mime/multipart) in Javascript, in fact we did it a few months back as a sanity check, I'll need to dig up the code to send around. The discussion so far has been that it's faster to just implement the JSON-only batch format for now. The spec doesn't disallow this as the /batch-proxy URL can accept any MIME type you care to throw at it (and define), if we decide to standardize the JSON one we should probably write up some spec text though :). application/json batch can co-exist with mime/multipart easily enough if necessary.
