WDDX is not going to be transparent unless it handles instances and none
of the implementations handle those yet. I can't remember the last time I
created a Python data structure that consisted of only dictionaries,
tuples, lists and other built-in types. Anyhow, there is no way to make
date/time handling transparent in Python until there is a Python date/time
class.
