IMO it has sense only if the "binary" format supports constructions like
#macros, #while etc. Sometimes could be more efficent to send short script with
#while(N<10000) and parse it on place instead of unrolled "binnary" list of
objects with slow bandwidth.
Also I wonder how accuracy problem will work when platforms on the farm will
support different accuracy.
