I was looking into using JSON/BSON[0] as transport protocols. You'll loose
the schema-stuff from XML but then, that isn't very Internet-y to begin
with. If you'd like to keep the schema, Google's protocol buffers[1] may be
worth a look.

The JSON/BSON pair has the nice property that you can use JSON during the
debugging phase and easily look into the messages and later, when things
are stable, you can switch to a more efficient binary protocol.
