Valid keys for json.Mashall

[aschobel]

Howdy,

I ran into a bit of a curiosity with the encoding/json package.

encoding/json.Mashall doesn't encode a field if the tag has a '/' in
it

type SubscriptiontrackHandlerSettings struct {
Enable int `json:"enable"`
TextHtml string `json:"text/html"`
TextPlain string `json:"text/plain"`
}

http://weekly.golang.org/src/pkg/encoding/json/encode.go?s=3491:3534#L415

A JSON object should be able to have a key with a '/' in if you look
at http://www.json.org/

Should I submit a patch?

Cheers,
Andreas
