Agreed.

Having tried to come up with a generalized algorithm to do this a long time ago, I don't think this is as easy as it sounds. There are no simple rules for translating between JSON and WebIDL and/or back, you end up writing complex, object-specific algorithms. You can punt by calling .toString(), but even then there are issues - like how you deal w/ numbers. I also note that some financial organizations may want to translate the messages to XML and back.
