and at the end we would call it rpc and gave the binary protocol a better name, like protobuf or cap'n'proto?

All RPCs would take a tree notation doc as input and return a tree notation doc as output. Tree notation supports no data structures and tree notation supports all data structures. Apis would use only the data structures they need. Binary protocols would be easy to optimize.
