 We've talked for years about a simple /feed/json/ endpoint. It usually
 gets bogged down immediately by everyone realizing we don't know how we
 should expose that data. There isn't a spec or anything like that.

 http://rssjs.org/ was a proposal by Dave Winer last year to create a JSON-
 based RSS pseudo-standard. Essentially: Let's use exactly what RSS 2.0
 exposes, in the way that it exposes it, but in JSON form.

 I'm sure someone will mention rmccue & co's JSON API, but they are not
 mutually exclusive in the slightest. It would be super cool if every
 WordPress site had a consumable JSON feed.

 I think /feed/rssjs/ might make more sense than /feed/json/. It hasn't
 taken off as a standard, so maybe not. (Or, we could be the ones to drive
 its adoption.)
