I think that any RPC/JSON(JavaScript)/SOAP(XML)/Python/QtDataStream etc
serialization work should be done as an independent or reusuable work. I can
see converting to/from a QObject to any format as useful beyond web services.
If you are going to support XML and JSON, then might as well eave room for
other formats as well...

Yes. We can support multiple message formats in GCF. Currently we have a custom
XML message format. We will be supporting JSON soon. It would not be impossible
to support SOAP.
So, in theory - we should be able to mix web-services written using GCF/Qt with
other web-services by using SOAP and/or JSON.
Best Regards,
Prashanth
