I want to be a fan of csexps. I'm a big fan of SPKI/SDSI conceptually. Unfortunately I lack your enthusiasm for trying to evangelize them, and think JSON is probably here to stay.

That said, regarding JSON and the inclusion of self-describing encoding information for e.g. Base64, I created a microformat for that:

This reminds me of Meteor's ejson but much less verbose. Very nice. Have you thought about adding a way to specify the type of object? Maybe something like `"field:<O(Post)>": ...`.
