It sounds to me like you have one specific problem you are trying to generalize by sending ADTs across the wire. Microsoft and IBM "solved" it with Com & Corba - later picked up by GNOME for the same job - though, of course, they added RPC into the mix. XML, S-expr, JSON all try and solve the same problem and add REST / SOAP / crap de jour for RPC.

Plan9 chose 9p. Seeing as your endpoints already know the layout of the struct, they present a directory tree to write into.

You mentioned you wanted ALT, your server can do that for you on Clunk.
