You can add a (required) field to indicate the intended contents of
the message, as described at
http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/techniques.html#union

Note that Protocol Buffers will not enforce the "business rule" that
the message's declared type and actual content must match, but it is
straightforward to create a wrapper that will do that.
