That doesn't make sense. If it wasn't already in place, you would have to put it in place before you could
change it. Whether you can do it
simply is another matter.

Is that supposed to be an answer to my question?
That's only relevant if you're going to develop an app or script which consumes the data. The forum feed is primarily for the users, using one of many RSS readers which have already been developed. It doesn't make sense to implement a JSON feed just so that you can develop a new reader which could probably only be used on this forum.
XML is not hard to handle, especially with the aid of MSXML.
I suppose that the amount of "fat" "trimmed off" by using JSON rather than XML for the feed markup would be negligible.
