Hi, Bob. I hadn't noticed that ticket. It's interesting. I posted my response on there. I suggested it was not a bug. One might argue that Couch should echo back exactly what you give it. I can see that point but am not persuaded. The bug is Python's deserializer being too clever. Since Python is widespread, it is a maybe a breaking change, but not a blocker. IMHO. -- Iris Couch
