Is it possible for wcf data services to return metadata in json format?

The server return error 415 from this request ->

GET http://services.odata.org/V3/(S(plcxuejnllfvrrecpvqbehxz))/OData/OData.svc/$metadata HTTP/1.1 DataServiceVersion: 3.0; Host: services.odata.org Content-Length: 0 Accept: application/json;odata=verbose Content-Type: application/json;odata=verbose

There's nothing preventing the service from offering such capability, but OData currently doesn't define JSON format for the metadata endpoint response. So the server would have to come up with one (proprietary). This holds true for WCF Data Services, I don't know enough about plain WCF Services (and if there's a JSON version of WSDL).

WCF can return json from methods, but service metadata is always xml (wsdl).
