I would just ask why you didn't use Bill Dueber's already existing 
proto-spec, instead of making up your own incomptable one.

I'd think we could somehow all do the same consistent thing here.

Since my interest in marc-json is getting as small a package as possible 
for transfer accross the wire, I prefer Bill's approach.

There are already two open issues on the discussion tab and you can use them as a template for new issues.  The first issue is Bill Dueber's request for some sort of versioning and the second issue is whether the specification should specify the flavor of MARC, e.g., marc21, unicode, etc.

I do monitor this listserve and the OCLC developer network listserve, but I only selectively look at messages on those listserves.  If you would like to use this listserve or the OCLC developer network listserve to discuss the MARC-JSON specification, make sure you place MARC-JSON in the subject line, to give me a clue that I *should* look at that message, or directly CC my e-mail address on your post.
