The choice of mailing list has no bearing on good practice.

This is a list to discuss uses of CouchDB, rather than the core or direction of the product, which is d...@. If this were dev@ then the discussion would be in the context of official CouchDB support and/or incorporation. As this is user@, what is an RFC a prerequisite for (apart from your interest)?

Unless the community is willing to standardise a JSON canonicalisation
specification through a standards body like the IETF, I'm going to loose
interest, and I rather suspect others will do so too.

IMO it's a bit early to make this call. Let's see how it goes - at least two people are interested, and if it's supported by some third party libraries, then maybe more people will use it. Thus are communities born.

Hi, I'd like to do $THING. I know that $SOLUTION_A and $SOLUTION_B will do it very easily and for a very reasonable price, but I don't want to use $SOLUTION_A or $SOLUTION_B because $VAGUE_REASON and $CONTRADICTORY_REASON. Instead, I'd like your under-informed ideas on how to achieve my $POORLY_CONCEIVED_AMBITIONS using Linux, duct tape, an iPod, and hours and hours of my precious time.
