 Replying to [comment:7 rmccue]:
 > I wonder, since this appears to be a stop-gap until we have a JSON API,
 why not just implement a JSON API straight out?

 Because this means we avoid needing to design and create a new
 implementation from scratch, not to mention individual API methods. It's
 an easy win to allow people to use JSON instead of XML (which rightfully
 scares away pretty much everyone).

 This wouldn't be pitched as a "New JSON API" in the release notes. It
 would be much softer, like "JSON-RPC support added to the traditional XML-
 RPC server".
