Check
out the Web Distributed Data Exchange (WDDX) technology by Allaire at http://www.openwddx.org. This is where I got
my idea. I began looking into serializing a JS object encoded with the form data
and then deserializing it to a Java object on the server side, but then I
realized that I could cut out the middleman and simply send my own custom XML
string in a hidden form field. I used their JS file as the basis for my own
script. The solution still leaves me a bit unsatisfied
though...

This one actually is interesting.
Imagine if the XML serialization of the JS object is echoed to another browser - and it de-serialized it back into a JS object. Think of all the fun things you could do with that...
