idea, and glad you started a wiki and an email list.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=432480515-15032007>I'm sure the this
list will be rife with flaming regarding whether or not XML is good, evil etc.,
and the same for JSON. I think those are good discussions to have, but I am
going to call out my emails on those topics with <religious-war>
tags, and try not to mix them up in other discussions of how to use
JSON.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=432480515-15032007>Because, regardless
of your position, using JSON in one form or another is practically a necessity
in dealing with browser based apps. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=432480515-15032007>One thing I would
throw out there is that JSON might be best used, with respect to OGC specs, as a
binding. In other words, the allowable information model of a request and
response can still be mandated via XML schema, but for transport over the wire,
a JSON binding could be adopted.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
