At first glance, you might think it more convenient to give the protocol 
a filterFormat instead of a filterToParams method.  However, I don't 
think we should assume that all formats used for serializing filters 
should return a "params" object.  The CQL format, for example, returns a 
string from write.

If anybody wants to take this farther, please do.  My main concern is 
getting the script protocol in.  And this really has very little to do 
with it.
