Eg: By referencing an encoder function using the standard on* attribute. Could be called onbeforesubmit=encodeMsgpack. This function would take a JS object, generated according to the W3C's JSON form spec, and return a pair of [string, arraybuffer]. String being the MIME content type, and arraybuffer containing the request body.
