OK, that's a good example.  Weak typing would be necessary if you
wanted to call remote functions with arguments that represented
message field values, rather than having those functions take their
values from the text fields.  That might be useful, I suppose, if
you are calling remote library functions that weren't written with
Freenet in mind.  But the _caller_ of those functions already has
to find the fields by name, possibly dealing with subclasses, and
has to know what the intended use of the remote function is, so its
benefit from weak typing is minimal since it already knows details
based on name.  I suppose the benefit is not non-existant, though.
