At the very least, it should return a top-level JSON object:

{response: [{pk: 1,
             some_field: "hi!"},
            {pk: 2,
             some_field: "hiya!"}]}

This is not something that a JSON serializer should be concerned about - it is the responsibility of the app developer. JSON is not just used by web apps using AJAX.
