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

[Shug Boabby]

excellent... although it's not quite there. I need to be able to
obtain proper JSON so that I can  counteract the Same Point of Origin
restrictions. Perhaps it is possible to do this with JSONP, but I'm
using GWT and the code I'm using can only handle JSON.
