I'm curious to hear what you think is going to be more efficient, platform agnostic and portable than XDR? ASN1 would be the only thing I would even consider using instead, but it is arguable whether it would be worth the pain of supporting more than one serialization format and it certainly doesn't seem sane to break all backwards compatibility to switch to something new unilaterally. ASN1 /might/ be a reasonable alternative to XDR, but I don't see what advantages this could possibly bring.
