I had misunderstood the semantics of json.stringify - I thought tables always mapped onto dictionary objects, even if they were arrays. The semantics I suggested is an invertible way of handling that, though the inverse will be odd for JSON arrays whose 0th element is a dictionary object.

Flagging errors in cases with seems to be a good way to handle this kind of problematic input. It's surely better than having applications have nonsensical data if they are given peculiar input.
