We decided to go with value instead of name for JSON because JSON 
doesn't support enums, but supports integers and strings, and because 
enums are comparable with they values, but not with they names.

 >>> json.loads(json.dumps(socket.AF_INET)) == socket.AF_INET
True

We simply had no other choice.
