if you pass simplejson.dumps a kwarg cls=django.core.serializers.json.DjangoJSONEncoder you get handling of datetime objects and decimals for free

or pass cls=ModelJSONEncoder (http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1374/) to also handle django.db.models.Model objects.

And put jsonify.is_safe=True after register.filter so you don't need to turn autoescape off or pipe to safe filter every time you use jsonify.

You may want to use mark_safe on the results. In Django 1.2 I get HTML escaped quotation marks.
