If I read correctly, you are implying that the cjson module reads
canonical json, when it's just an alternative implementation of plain
json for python that used to be the fastest available in the time.
Right now just using the json module in python 2.6 may be best as the
parser is a C module (AFAIR).

Is because of a bug in cjson why those files aren't being parsed?
