-----------------------------------------

Hey Jens, 

Thanks for the cross post. You are right, there are not too many registered 
suffixes (8 in total).

The +xml and +json suffixes are widely used and supported though. A lot of 
+json and +xml here:

Java Libs like Moxy and Jackson will automatically convert POJOs to/from media 
types with +xml or +json suffixes, other language REST frameworks have similar 
support. It is not a lot of work to make them do it for .json, its just not 
free.

> When a JS client communicates with a backend supporting several encodings, 
> knowing which protocol to use is a bit kludgy.  This patch tries to fix that 
> by always setting the Accept: and Content-Type: request headers to 
> "application/json".
