ES 3.1 implementations?

There is an implementation in JavaScript at json.org/json2.js.
It would be great if somebody wanted to work on a proof of concept ES 3.1 implementation in a open code bases such as such as Webkit or Rhino.
If anybody is interested in volunteering send a not to es3.x-discuss at mozilla.org

Don't forget SpiderMonkey.

There's the ES4 RI as well -- did you have anyone already lined up to
work on the 3.1 subset of it?
Yes, and of course SpiderMonkey. For no particularly good reason I simply have the other two positioned in my mind as perhaps being more (technically) approachable for somebody who wanted to plunge into such an effort. I may well be misguided in that perception.

(Was that a cut? :-P)
It's true, SpiderMonkey won't win any beauty pageants, but it gets
the job done and people do hack on it. No mature and/or optimized
engine is all that easy to hack on, and C or C++ is the wrong
language for implementing interpreters and compilers, if the goal is
clarity and extensibility. Java is better, SML is much better -- to
pick non-random examples.
Which reminds me, any thoughts on the RI subset?

This file has evolved since I last looked at it. We have an older copy in the Mozilla tree,
mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/src/json/test/json2.js
and Mozilla's native implementation matches its behavior in most cases, except where I intentionally diverged (our implementation always returns strict JSON, and thus won't return strings).
A changelog would really speed my analysis of the new file, since I'm quite familiar with the old one. Happen to have one?

We would gladly accept SquirrelFish patches for any part of ES3.1 that
is not in conflict with the corresponding part of ES4.
