Mi Marc,
thanks for your thoughts!

I will have a deeper look at it and add it to the wiki page.You propose
to add jQuery to the mainframe? I'm +1 with that!

There is a json plugin for jquery available here, maybe that is what you
where talking about:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@jquery.com/msg06247.html
the reason why I don't  use this is that I don't know if it does exactly
the same as the original json.js. Only changing the prototype into
global function should not change functionality.
