NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
though you'd have to unwrap the messages from the request on the OpenAMF side of things since Flex 2 RemoteObject uses a messaging framework to determine connectivity, channel failover, custom authentication, and a better quality of service.

I agree with Jesse on the points between the Binary and XML formats.
One of the other down falls of AMFPHP and AS3 right now is that you have to us NetConnection and not a nice RemoteObject component.
Thats not to say the NetConnection wont work in the future, it probably will continue to, but it would be nice to have RemoteObject component in the framework that worked with AMF0 formats. The flip side is to what for AMFPHP to support the newer AMF3 format and destinations/channels and the RemoteObject component should work as is. This will come as time goes by so this issue might be mitigated later.
