Gee, with all this talk about "open", one might look at the following URL
and begin to question it's openness.

Subject: WDDX.org is now OpenWDDX.org
> Effective today, Macromedia has formally transitioned responsibility for
the
> Web Distributed Data Exchange (WDDX) Web site to a third party. All
> information that has been posted to the WDDX Web site, wddx.org, can now
be
> found at http://www.openwddx.org.
>
> WDDX is an XML-based technology that enables the exchange of complex data
> between applications, creating what some refer to as 'Web syndicate
> networks' and enabling Web Services. Allaire created WDDX in order to
solve
> key problems in exchanging data between Web applications. In particular,
> Simeon Simeonov, Allaire's chief architect, created WDDX to support
problems
> of distributed computing within ColdFusion. This work was generalized into
a
> cross-language framework, and resulted in the creation of the WDDX SDK and
> WDDX.org. Nate Weiss, an independent Web developer, with the support of
> Allaire and a number of other third parties, created the WDDX SDK.
>
> Transferring responsibility for this Web site is consistent with our
overall
> goal of supporting this technology within the public domain. As creator
of
> the technology, Allaire Corp. was at times perceived as the owner and
formal
> supporter of the technology, and that WDDX was a proprietary technology.
> The establishment of OpenWDDX.org is intended to rekindle enthusiasm and
> acceptance of WDDX in the developer community, and confirm its role as an
> independent and enabling technology.
>
