With our current middleware I think it doesn't make sense to use anything other than the openssl format in GLUE, it would mean having format converters in both directions which would be highly error-prone, there are lots of subtleties. You could argue that the entire middleware should change, but I think that would be about as likely as the UK changing to driving on the right!
