I agree with Bret: one binding to rule them all, one binding to…bind…them.
I also agree that the single binding should be JSON. I think people will have huge problems implementing a binary protocol across a variety of languages and platforms. We would have to consider language/library support, compatibility between different
libraries, and all the other challenges of a binary protocol.
If at some point volume surpasses what we can do in JSON that would be a good time to counter my first statement and add a binary protocol *for only those use cases* and continue to use JSON for other use cases. In other words, we might add another binding
but each use case would only have a single supported binding.

I am not against a binary version. I do have concerns about ease of use with binary. I also have concerns with good solid support for handhelds.
But that discussion aside, I think we both agree on "not XML" and "only one way to do it".

I disagree with Brett's statement that the only binding should be JSON. I believe that the only binding should be a binary protocol of some sort. We differ in our beliefs there, but we do both believe there should only be a single binding. One
way to do it.
The protocol discussion and testing stages should be very interesting when we go through the various options as a community.
