Comment:

 PHP JSON support is covered (PHP 5)

 Browser JSON support doesn't even come into question: we're just
 generating an inline script tag.

 As an additional bonus, if we use JSON, we can ditch convertEntities(),
 which is a very ugly hack.

 I think it's better if we move in small, manageable steps:

 * take care of wp_localize_script() in WP 3.2
 * think about a more general API later (if it's even needed)

 Patch still applies cleanly
