This is an important point.  We need to make sure we aren't  
unnecessarily inflating the number of bytes being transported,  
although I seriously doubt we are.  :-)

Perhaps a quick unit test to prove this?  This marshaller [1] in our  
test suite is a dummy marshaller that just uses java object streams.   
Could be useful to compare resulting byte array sizes against.
