[issue13212] json library is decoding/encoding when it should not

I'm not sure adding a strict option is a good idea.  HTMLParser got a strict argument and it's causing more problems than it solves.  If another problem comes up later we would either have to change the behavior for strict and break code that by then is using strict=True or add yet another really_strict argument.
