One problem with javascript and protobuf is that you need a lot of support
code to parse the messages.  Unless you end up sending quite a lot of stuff
back and forth, making the user download a JS protobuf codec library may be
a net loss.  It may be better to use JSON or XML because browsers already
have built-in support for those.
That said, I think various people inside google have been playing with
javascript + protocol buffers for awhile and if we end up with anything that
works well enough, we'll release it.
