	There's not a released binary protocol implementation from danga yet.

	I maintain a branch with it currently that is tracking development  
(although recent changes have led to a bug I haven't tracked down yet  
-- might need a day or two to get time for that).

	If you want to play with it, I can help you get it up and running.

	My release is dependent on a server release, so I'm just holding it  
in pre-release until then.

	I'm not sure what you mean by that.  Do you mean a single object  
under a single key, or referencing multiple keys from the server(s)?

	For the former, the default transcoder should be fine.  For the  
latter, it'd be tough because some of the collection can disappear and  
it'd be spread across multiple servers.

	Yes.  I doubt you'd notice it, but that were an issue you could just  
start two clients and access them via round robin (which sort of goes  
back to that interface thing I was talking about).

	1.2.4 is imminent, but isn't a particularly exciting release for me.
