Yes, there was a discussion on what representation/encoding we should use, JSON 
or XML. We took hums in the room to see preferences, and there was strong 
preference towards using JSON.
One technical issue which came up: not all data structures we may want to reuse 
have a JSON representation, some only have XML. Can JSON include XML data 
structures, if yes, can someone point to a doc describing it?  Otherwise we'll 
have to redefine them in JSON (this is what draft-das is actually doing).

Let me ask this: are there any objections to using JSON representation for the 
data format? Does anyone think that XML would be a better choice, and why?

Subject: [paws] XML schema versus JSON, vCard & iCal

We had a discussion on XML vs. JSON. I prefer the one with most compact 
messages.

On vCard and JSON: what is the status of "A JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) 
Representation for vCard"?
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhat-vcarddav-json-00

On valid times: can we use same format as certificates? They have similar 
simple requirements: valid notBefore & notAfter.
