Would anyone object to changing the output mime type of
ApiFormatJson.php from "application/json" to 'text/javascript' ?

This is needed for iframe target background upload tasks. ie you upload
a file and then you want to take the name of the file you uploaded and
use that to insert the image into the edit window. With mime as
"application/json" the browser promts the user to "save" the file and we
can't eval the document text result in the iframe.
