Interestingly enough, I just ran across "Flatten":
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82591&package_id=91311
"...which aids in serializing/unserializing networked data securely, without having to fear execution of code or the like."
Sounds promising!
Well, I'm always dubious of OSS projects that don't even have any bugs reported, let alone fixed: no patches submitted, etc, etc.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=82591
Though maybe I'm missing something obvious?
