Passing objects, or arrays of strings, arrays, or objects, is more

Since
it is likely that JSON will be supported natively by UAs in due

seems better to wait for that support rather than adding type
support to
postMessage().
HTML 5 should expose a native JSON parser for web content.
Native JSON parsing is being considered for the next versions of
ECMAScript (the 3.1 and 4 versions). It seems like a better fit there
than in HTML5. If it ends up not being added to ECMAScript, I would
propose it as a standalone spec for the W3C Web Apps WG.
