keep an eye on this. Any webpage or svn or anything yet?
I wrote up some of a webpage for it over the weekend:

I haven't had a chance to clean up my code yet, so it isn't posted, but
there's some overview text there, including some implementation details
that
I haven't discussed yet here, but the document still has a long way to go.
But there it is, becoming more organized than anything I've written on it
before.
Adam. What you written at your web site is a very interesting read.
Re your use of a binary protocol.
Perhaps instead of re-inventing the wheel, you may want to look at what
Google has done with the design of their Google Protocol Buffers, which
also implements a very fast binary protocol. See here for a overview:
http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/overview.html
It is also worthwhile reading the section called "A bit of history".
Note that there is also D implementation.

I don't know how current this is, though.
One more point. What, if any, library to you plan to use ?
cheers
