Weak typing would be necessary if you wanted to call remote functions with arguments that represented message field values, rather than having those functions take their values from the text fields. That might be useful, I suppose, if you are calling remote library functions that weren't written with Freenet in mind. But the _caller_ of those functions already has to find the fields by name, possibly dealing with subclasses, and has to know what the intended use of the remote function is, so its benefit from weak typing is minimal since it already knows details based on name. I suppose the benefit is not non-existant, though.
