I think what Noah might be saying is, "As soon as there's a JSON diff RFC, we'll implement it". Which I agree with completely. Until then, if we implement something it'd most likely be not the RFC which we've all had to deal with when coding to web 'standards'. It's not fun. That said, pushing the JSON community towards acceptance of a diff format is something we could do. Not sure how we should organize other than all joining the JSON lists and pushing. And then nominating Noah to write the RFC that we'll implement. Matter of fact I kinda like that idea. Anyone with me? Paul
