Xml message passing

I second the view that Xml messages should be passed between processes than bulky objects. Processing of Xml is far simpler than serializing objects and sending them. A number of Sri's points seem valid in this case. It would also improve the speed of communication...take google maps for example...nothing but Xml messages being passed over as the user drags a map in a certain directions...will make for a slicker interface as well.

Just my view....glad to see a number of ideas popping in so rapidly.

Cheers.
