I would add specifically JavaScript clients (even though the JSON

Right, that is the main point of JSON, which is why i think more
literal mappings like BadgerFish miss the point, one might as well
use XML and E4X.
The problem that is really hard to juggle is that different users
have different expectations on how they want the XML infoset produced
by JAXB to be mapped to JSON. Which is why we have tried to offer
different notations to meet that need.
What i think we need is some good clear documentation on the
"NATURAL" convention we have just introduced so that users can decide
whether that is appropriate for them or not. And we should avoid
mentioning XSD in such documentation :-)
