yeap i remember this, but this is now past... we have CONNECT storage
engine =) working with xml and json =)

i think it's a nice human readable format for arrays/objects, nothing less
nothing more, instead of ARRAY('blablabl') OBJECT('blablalba'), a easier to
interpret language is ['blablabla'] {'blablabla'}, internally i don't know
if this will include a very very big work at parser

Passing data series to javascript/HTML5 would be relevant (?).

i think not..., i use dyanmic columns with historic data log, example:
create table history(data_time datetime not null, values blob, primary key
(date_time));

at values i insert data with dynamic columns, instead of create something
like
create table history(data_time datetime not null, key varchar(255) not
null, value blob, primary key (date_time,key));

i don't use dynamic columns to document search, cause we don't have index,
when i need it at log, i create a specific table, or specific column

create table history(data_time datetime not null, key_1 varchar(255) not
null, key_2 varchar(255), primary key (date_time), index(key_1,date_time));


But there are probably many more use cases - including sharing data with

yeap, but i think it's more related to storage engines... maybe just the
array/object syntax could be nice to support at SQL language
