I just took a quick look. To me, the more interesting aspect of 
protobuf's is that you provide a text description of the object format, 
and it generates some code that will read said format. The same idea 
could be applied to GTO. Some tool is created that takes as input, the 
ASCII GTO headers conforming to some GTO protocol that you want to 
accept, and then it generates some code that will read any arbitrary GTO 
file into the desired protocol objects.
