I basically use a three tiered system that allows people to choose what they want based on the complexity of the data. Tier 1 (complex data types) s-Structures (sStructure) a-Array (aArray) o-Object (oObject) q-Query (qQuery) Tier 2 (formatted strings) d-Date (dDate) l-List (lList) w-WDDX (wWDDX) b-Boolean (bBoolean) Tier3 (numbers) i-Integer (iInteger) n-Number (nNumber) Everything else is considered a string.
