 AEMP can use a proven protocol - SSL/TLS - to protect connections and
 securely authenticate nodes.
 
+=item * The AEMP protocol is optimised for both text-based and binary
+communications.
+
+The AEMP protocol, unlike the erlang protocol, supports both
+language-independent text-only protocols (good for debugging) and binary,
+language-specific serialisers (e.g. Storable).
+
+It has also been carefully designed to be implementable in other languages
+with a minimum of work while gracefully degrading fucntionality to make the
+protocol simple.
