When a message is being sent, the choice of which transport to use is done way
down in the bowels of the RemoteRequest process.  The message to be sent (the
JSON-serialized RPC request) has already been generated; it's a textual
representation of a single object.  There's no easy way, at that point, to
split it into its constituent parts.  Also, I think we want to keep it as a
single object.  The server may want to pass it off for processing, and the
whole request should be encapsulated until the server is ready to parse it.

qooxdoo doesn't call the JSON-RPC handler if the content type is not one that
tells it that the the content must be so handled.  qooxdoo has to be able to
receive both JSON-RPC replies and straight javascript, and it handles them
differently.  There could be multiple content types that serve that purpose,
but I'm not convinced that there's a compelling reason to add complexity in
this case.

Good. :-)
