That sounds like progress.

Where I'm coming from is not remembering all these details and the
notion that the json interface should be usable without knowing anything
about the receiver.   So ideally, I'd think the status information
should be synthesized from what exists (such as the validity flags).
Otherwise, I don't see how a user of  the json can decide whether to
respect the status information without  knowing more than it ought to
know, abstraction wise.
