That looks very interesting, especially [2]!
I didn't know about Protobuf and Thrift. Care to share the proto file?

Sure, will send it to list tonight (haven't got access to it right now).

As I wrote earlier, I think protobuf (and Thrift) have some very cool features:
* you can update messages without breaking old code [a]
* faster than XML
* smaller than XML
* binary, but with a convenient human-readable representation for debugging and editing
* language-neutral, platform-neutral
