Comment (by rmccue):

 +1 on JSON-based feeds. It's something we should try and push heavily for,
 but it will need to be properly specified. XML is actually a better fit
 for this type of data, since the attribute + data model is needed in a few
 places, but a properly designed JSON feed could work around that at the
 same time. I'm pretty fond of killing XML, especially RSS.

 -1 on Winer's "specification". Apart from it not being a proper
 specification (and Dave Winer is hardly the best at writing those either),
 it's just RSS as a JSON object. Something like this should be designed,
 lest we end up with a RSS 0.9/0.91/0.92/1.0/2.0 (all being mutually
 incompatible) situation again.

 Personally, I'd base something off the Atom specifications, but with
 slimming down and reworking for JSON constraints.

 (Also worth noting that as part of the JSON API stuff, I'd like to add a
 JSON rewrite endpoint, so avoiding naming anything until we've formed a
 roadmap would be nice.)
