I have to ask a dumb question first: what is this sort of thing useful for? More importantly, why can't it be done by using existing our existing serialisation framework and serialising to a string buffer? You've written something that clearly has a lot of thought (or, at least, a lot of typing) behind it, but I can't evaluate it because I think I'm too stupid to understand what hole this is filling. Can you use sock puppets, small words and short sentences to fill in some blanks for me? :-) Then I can go back and read this email and put it into context.
