I believe I'm missing something here. I was under the interpretation 
that alias resolution was going the KISS route, of basically a single 
HTTP request and response. How do you see binary data fitting into this?

I'm not going to pretend that I know all the details of the difficulties 
that were encountered with JSON-RPC. But in the argument of developer 
accessibility, it still serves a purpose. If JSON-RPC support is 
removed, you will immediately lose a large pool of high level language 
developers. I would hope that support would not be dropped, even if it 
only remains as a secondary protocol with limited capability. Most high 
level developers are only going to use it for basic functions anyhow.
