jQuery.support.nonstandard_json_string

Actually the simplest "way out" is to have new jQuery.support member :

jQuery.support.nonstandard_json_string =
		function () {
               try { JSON.parse("{ a : 1 }"); return true ; } catch(x)
{ return false; }
            }();

As far as I know "only" in CHROME :
jQuery.support.nonstandard_json_string === true ;

Having this implement JSON parsing logic in 1.4 ...
