That being said, ISO 8601 is a standard for datetime stamps, and a defacto
one for JSON

So building encoding of datetime into Python's json encoder would be pretty
useful.

(I would not have any automatic decoding though -- as an ISO8601 string
would still be just a string in JSON)

Could we have a "pedantic" mode for "fully standard conforming" JSON, and
then add some extensions to the standard?

As another example, I would find it very handy if the json decoder would
respect comments in JSON (I know that they are explicitly not part of the
standard), but they are used in other applications, particularly when JSON
is used as a configuration language.
