I had floated the idea of creating a reference parser in Javascript
that turns valid XSPF into valid JSPF. We can still go that route, as
well. I've been having a little trouble getting my existing parser to
work on IE 6, so I haven't checked it into the repository yet.

I'm not sure how one would spec a JSON format. I'm sure it can be done
- but some of the key differences from XML are that a JSON format
ought to allow arbitrary keys to be added to the document, as long as
the required keys are present and any keys that are part of the spec
are valid.
