That's the same question - "does it matter?" - that I had reading this 
thread.  If you have a ton of records to pack into a file, are the 
advantages of sending a json mime type over http and viewing it in a 
browser with jsonovich or whatever worth it when it's a really big file 
anyway?

Seems that having 3-4 parsers that share the exact same idea of how to 
read/write individual records is the main story, and a great step forward.

+1 to y'all for getting this done.
-1 to me for never following through with my half-done pymarc 
implementation at c4lc '09 or whenever it was.
