Offhand, it seems like the fundamental vocabulary could remain the same, with just the syntactical details changing over from XML to JSON. Edit: Interestingly enough, there is a (apparently satirical) XEP for this: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0295.html

How are you going to translate XML namespaces which are heavily used in XMPP into JSON? The satirical example shows that it's not going to look good ;)
