Yes, it's built on top of both rfc4627.erl and mod_jsonrpc.erl. It's not
a RESTful mapping, more of an RPC-style mapping - it was the simplest
thing to get working in the time I had available initially.

Interestingly, Javascript's poor support for binary might mandate a
bunch of (as yet unimplemented) hacks for, say, optional base64- or
hex-encoding of published/delivered messages! This strikes me
particularly now that I've just finished wrestling with unicode support
for rfc4627.erl... ("chars are not bytes, chars are not bytes, ...")

Absolutely, I understand. Unfortunately there isn't at the moment. We
hope to have some progress for you over the next week or two, though.
I'll talk to the guys who are working on the HTTP binding and get back
to you as soon as I have some news.

Regards,
  Tony
