Are you proposing that timestamps as described in RFC 3339 be put inside quotes and just be string values in JSON? That's the simplest way I can think to do it, but I've had adamant protest to that idea.

If you are not suggesting that timestamp values be wrapped in quotes, then wouldn't you have to worry about every existing parser out there tripping on them?




The former I assume. It sounds fine to me. if one is worried aboutfragmentstion, create a standard on top JSON that provides rules for dealing with other types. Layering 101, people!
