Yes but I don't want to worry about what parts of the spec are implemented on each end. If you removed all the unnecessary stuff and formed a new standard, it'd basically be protobuf.

I do not agree. Which parts are necessary depends on the application; there is not one good way to do for everyone (and Protobuf is too limited). You will need to implement the parts specific to your schema/application on each end, and if the format does not have the data types that you want then you must add them in a more messy way (especially when using JSON).
