The following two documents are legal JSON documents, but CouchDB

Sure you can:
{_id:"the actual id",
body:{
"_id" : "geir's document",
"foo" : "bar"
}
}
If you need to store underscore fields, store move the whole
document down from the top level into another field.
I understand that, but that's really my point - I need to change my
document if I want to store it in CouchDB. People don't seem to care
though :)
This doesn't just apply to _id and _rev, there are other meta fields
that can be returned in a doc, and those will also have underscores.
The rule is reserved fields in document root start with underscore.
User fields at the doc root level cannot start with underscore.
Yep - that was clear in the docs.
