A MUST for JSON and XML (I'm going with a MUST for XML to maintain backwards compatibility with RFC 6415) on the server side and a client can choose whatever format it wants. This is the approach taken in the current WebFinger draft. If we reach consensus that we must mandate a client format (Note: I don't personally think we need to), then so be it.
