Description

The spec is missing proper documentation for this serialization, but you can see the issue by comparing:

(2.0.1)
http://opensocial-resources.googlecode.com/svn/spec/2.0.1/Social-API-Server.xml#rfc.section.2.1.1.2.2

vs.

(2.5)
http://opensocial-resources.googlecode.com/svn/spec/trunk/Social-API-Server.xml#rfc.section.2.1.1.2.2

In the example the term "entry" has been changed to "list" in the JSON serialization.

----------------

I am seeing the same change occur for activity streams as well:

{shindig}

/rest/activitystreams/@public/@all/@all?rollup=true

This change breaks the functionality of all existing OpenSocial clients.
