Serialization has always been a troublesome topic... I'm wondering if we shouldn't be looking more at JSON now that it's baked into Flash Player. Going that direction may make Flex more valuable with RESTful services. Maybe.
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is - what is vector serialization good for and where would it be used? How much juice are we going to get for the squeeze?
