I think we can restate this:

	* Remoting will expect compatible objects on both ends of the
	  wire.  

	  This means that it will only work with implementation to
	  implementation systems.

	  SoapFormatter is one of these beasts, and will have this
	  issue.

	* Xml-based serialization SOAP messages only use the public
	  fields, and is designed with interop with other
	  implementations in mind
