Unfortunately I'm useless to you there:  the only service I've had to 
talk to that uses anything like that is for a very trivial datum in 
which a simple offset call does what I need.

Most of my work these days is in systems in which both client and server 
are exclusively LiveCode, so it's hard to be both the convenience, 
compactness and efficiency of LC encoded arrays as a data package.

In fact, after reading up on MongoDB's internals, it seems that LC 
arrays are very similar in many respects to BSON, just a bit more 
compact in some respects (no VINTs in LC, just UINT4s):

Looking forward to it.  I enjoyed the work you did with FreeGUI, and 
always admired your spirit of community supportiveness.

Will do.
