Thanks so much! It's really beautiful to be able to share ideas and code so openly and get immediate feedback like this. I have used SOAP on some large projects, and I wasn't a fan. It just feels like, with JSON, the pendulum swung pretty far the other way. Thanks for those references to other standards; I'll look those over and see what I can learn. I think where JSON really chafes me is in places like configuration files, where I'd like a little finer control and more features, and Xfer has probably shifted more in that direction. It's certainly nowhere near ready for production, and I think it will probably remain an experiment, but it's been fun and educational.
