If you are planning to replace squeak specific serialization with more
interoperable one, just take a look at CampSmalltalk's SRP (State
Replication Protocol).

http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/CampSmalltalk/About+State+Replication+Protocol+(SRP)

It defines standard way to serialize Smalltalk objects.

Implementations for many Smalltalks(including Squeak) are available at:
http://www.effectnet.com/pbaumann/index.html

I will adopt this serialization protocol to my SOAP. (Currently SoapOpera
supports Squeak specific encoding and SOAP Encoding, so SRP will be the
third option).

Best regards,
