Title: Do not provide an unneeded/invalid encoding argument to json.load

The ```json.load``` function in Python's standard library has no documented encoding argument. And although ```simplejson.load``` does, it's documented as only needed "If the contents of fp are encoded with an ASCII based encoding other than UTF-8" - in other words, specifying UTF-8 is redundant.
