Yeah, I actually started moving on that last night, as a result of
this thread. I'm using Semantic MediaWiki's properties to note JSON as
a format.

There's an interesting problem, there. Some languages are descriptive
in nature. (I had a wonderful conversation with a guy at BarCamp who
programs in XML/XSL, and I didn't have any problem describing what he
was doing as programming. That requires XSL, though there are others.)
Still, JSON doesn't seem to fully qualify.

I'll move on getting JSON, YAML and XML treated as "formats", though.
