You're thinking too small here, Micha. We're not saying we can't get the job done - this isn't a "help me get this out the door" issue. It's a broader question. Why should such a fundamental thing as passing structured data be left completely to individual implementation? Why should that implementation be tightly coupled to the solution built? Why shouldn't my interface be able to switch from obtaining data from CF to obtaining data from WebSphere without having to rebuild the transport mechanism on WebSphere? The complaint (well... my complaint) is that this is such a low level issue. Passing structured data from a server to a client needs to be solved by EVERY SINGLE person doing AJAX style applications. Yet we have hundreds if not thousands of incompatible solutions. When you see that doesn't it at least indicate to you that a useful umbrella standard would be a useful thing? Again, it's not that it can't be done or that doing a one-off or a personal standard is difficult. It's that the situation is screaming for a clear, widely-adoptable standard.
