Hi, I've just read Leonardo's post at jsr-314-open about this problem.
FYI: I have finished prototype of JSF server side solution with non-String communication. It's based on custom renderkit and ResponseWriter implementation. I found only one major problem: this one discussed in this mail thread. Minor thing is string-based naming and meaning of ResponseWriter methods, because "ResponseWriter is an abstract class describing an adapter to an underlying output mechanism for *character*-based output" (from javadoc), but fortunately all methods accept Object as value.
