I get tags and atoms. It seems like the problem with class serialization is somewhat arbitrary though. It seems like both sides need the object schema ahead of time, in which case the schema can flag how it sdould be IDd / tagged.

I also wonder if atoms can be reduced for low-bandwidth transmission. Naïvly, you could just prepend a lookup table for multiple-use atoms.

I guess it seems more like niche, additional features when GGP seemed to be claiming a big step up.
