I'd tentatively agree, though I recall seeing a post not long ago
(which I am currently unable to find) from the author of jsonlib
lamenting the fact that most of the other JSON modules for Python had
various significant inconsistencies with the RFC. While authors of
competing tools should be taken with a grain of salt, I do think
compliance with the spec is an important factor for any particular
module that might be blessed with stdlib membership, and so should
play a bigger role in any such decision than mere benchmark speed.
