How serious are we with the idea of another rendering?  I'm thinking of JSON 
in particular, which seems to pop up as a "nice to have", which I'm not sure 
if anyone's actively working on.

The reason for asking is that within EMI there was a group (EMIR) that are 
working with GLUE 2.0 and, in effect, created their own JSON rendering of GLUE 
2.0, although they didn't seem to realise that's what they did -- or, at 
least, haven't contributed it back to the GLUE WG.

I think what they have developed will work for their particular use-case, but 
their rendering isn't well documented and (reverse engineering the format it 
in my head) I suspect isn't generally applicable for all the expressive power 
of GLUE 2.0.

I've tried to encourage them to take part in a standardisation effort, but not 
had too much success so far.  I'll keep trying.

Cheers,

Paul.
