I'm in the same boat. I think we have other more important things to
focus on right now, but if there is someone that wants to submit a patch
to fix these - and do their own testing to validate the fix - I'm fine
with letting that through.

But given that this code will all be removed shortly, I would really
rather see that effort going the other way to update the API consumer's
code to switch to JSON.
