Title: Issue 6, explanation of choice of JSON for preview

An attempt to explain why JSON was used to represent the CSV when delivering a preview to the browser. Major benefits being:

* Understood by almost all browsers
* Direct mapping to object model
* Encoded as UTF-8 and well-formed.
* Typed values.
* Widely understood by Javascript developers.
* Easy to generate and consume in many programming languages.
