Turn data/interests into JSON?

Now that fdata.bml is in JSON, would it be expedient to make interests.bml into JSON?

Pros: would be easier for Javascript mashups to load, is a standard format for parsing
Cons: would break compatibility with older LJ-based tools, would take up a bit more space than the current file.

Why not keep the old way as the default, and add a ?format=json argument to get the data in JSON? Or something like that.

Edit: Or JSON could be the default...either way. :)
