Yeah, WDDX is verbose, but so is generic XML --- but their objectives
are:

--- define the structure of complex or simple data.

--- provide a container for the data

--- be human-readable as well as machine readable

WDDX & generic XML meet these objectives,

It is my experience that they are about a wash as far as verbosity
overhead.
