Comment (by redsweater):

 maxcutler: as the major proponent of the plan, it seems the onus is more
 on you to provide extensive evidence for why such a stop-gap solution
 should be implemented, than to put it on markoheijnen and rmccue to
 develop an elaborate plan for developing a proper JSON-based API.

 Am I right that all the client benefits of the  JSON-RPC wrapper you
 propose, short of the bandwidth savings, would be achieved by implementing
 a similar wrapper on the client side? Maybe that is the right area to
 focus on for the short term, to prototype how a JSON-based API should
 behave and give you the luxury of dealing in JSON for the majority of your
 client code, while exploring the mechanics of how the JSON API should
 ideally work.

 My general impression of the JSON-RPC wrapper proposal on the server is
 that it's an example of "junking up" the code base for a short-term gain.
 I think that's the gist of the reaction you are getting from markoheijnen
 and rmccue as well. The onus is on proponents to argue that the benefits
 of this patch are so great that they override the stop-gap, junking-up
 impression it leaves on some of us.
