No, I wouldn't suggest you do that.  It works perfectly fine in Firefox.
 Check 
your own code.  I wrote a quick check to make sure it works in FF. 
Point your 
browser at:

http://progphp.com/test.html

Then do a view-source to see what I am doing.

Ok, I see the point... However FireFox does not like that escaping. So
any AJAX 
applications that use this generated JSON do not work in FireFox. It is
enough to 
have \/ in JSON to cause JavaScript error in FireFox. Should I report
the bug to 
FireFox than?

dmitry, I don't understand your last comment.  Of course / is escaped in
the 
json encoded string.  According to the spec it is supposed to be.  The
important 
part is that when you json_decode() it it comes back without the \ which
it 
does:

> php -v
PHP 5.3.3-dev (cli) (built: Feb 10 2010 10:53:36) 

> php -a
php > $enc = json_encode(array('test' => 'hello/world'));
php > echo $enc;
{"test":"hello\/world"}
php > var_dump(json_decode($enc));
object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
  ["test"]=>
  string(11) "hello/world"
}

No, it is definitely NOT fixed.

php -v says:
=================

Test file:
=================
<?= json_encode(array('test' => 'hello/world')) . chr(10);

Result:
=================
{"test":"hello\/world"}

Definitely fixed in 5.3

scott-mbp:~ scott$ php /tmp/test.php
string(10) "Black/Gray"
string(10) "Black/Gray"

Very sorry, the virtualhost I was using was not configured to use 
version 5.3.0 - it is using 5.2.1 instead

So I am not sure if this is an old problem with 5.2.1 that has been 
solved, or it still exists with 5.3.0
