Using actual objects is better. I mean, if you really want to optimize things, have your objects implement Externalizable. I don't see how "instanceof" and a cast would be slow. 

We most likely won't have any send(byte[]), but an sent(ByteBuffer) or equivalent instead. There's a vigorous discussion on this subject going on here: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=92869

The point in contention is whether to offer this as a top level API call, or make it accessible via a "chained marshaller" mechanism Tom Elrod is experimenting with as we speak. We're supposed to have a conference to discuss this, some time mid week. If interested, I can send you the call info.

I like symmetry. However, adding a new method name doesn't make too much sense if the current one provides the behavior we need, so I guess I won't make too much noise over that.

The document is just a proposal, it's not etched in stone :).
