Subject: Passing ruby literals over TPC as an alternative to Xml-Rpc

Passing ruby literals seems an easy way to let programs communicate
with each other.. And it eliminates the verbosity of XML.

I'll give an example for those not familiar with literals or xml-rpc:
Instead of sending:
<array>
  <data>
    <value><i4>1404</i4></value>
    <value><string>Something here</string></value>
    <value><i4>1</i4></value>
  </data>
</array>

you would be sending:
[ 1404, "Something here", 1 ]

Do you think it could be a valid alternative to Xml-Rpc?

I would love to hear your insights :-)

Kind regards,
Francis
