[Developers] RFE: wrap trans/blurb calls in JSON

[Nick Thompson]

trans/raw does actually accept a "callback=" argument that will make
it return JSONP (not JSON, but you can chop off the jsonp wrapper).

JSONP handling for binary types (e.g. images) may not work, there have
been limited use cases for this.  the right thing is probably to base64
the binary content, maybe you could construct a data: url with it or
something to actually display an image in the browser.

Using JSONP for text/* types is well-tested - it's how Mjt applications
fetch articles, for example.
