Someone talked to me about this at the LinuxTag. He was adamant that our API should support JSON (in addition to XML) as a return data format. He said that a JSON message would be valid JavaScript and thus it could be loaded <script>-like into a JavaScript app, circumventing the same-origin policy that applies to XmlHttpRequest. I said why bother, people can easily proxy requests if they want, but he said that there's a large group of possible users that wouldn't be able to set up a proxy and for whom a JSON interface would be an absolute requirement. I don't even know if there was any merit to his ramblings, technically - can you really dynamically load JOSN data from other hosts?
