Using JSON for both seems weird relative to existing implementations. Look at 
the Facebook Open Graph API. Given FB's presence, a pattern that will be widely 
adopted and understood. Parameters are on the query line, and results are in 
JSON. If we changed the response from the AS to JSON, it would seem natural to 
a FB developer. Now they have to decode responses to the AS as being  
application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and the other are JSON.
