It is a 'hack' as discussed in the article and I will probably never use it. JSON should be either self explanatory or documented, I don't see any reason why you would add this unnecessary clutter to these messages.

It is already hard to read as is and it's making it worse to read and confusing, if some big service would start using this, you would have to know about this 'hack' otherwise he would have to look up what the hell is going on.

Also, this is the same information for each call and thus redundant, makes your messages larger when an advantage of JSON is that it's generally a small message.
