I think the answer is yes, but I've looked at bit more at the code and
I think I see where the challenge is: that 2nd Write() method (the one
the RemoteSerializer is using to output already filtered logs) takes
threading::Values, not Vals. That means switching over from one
Write() to the other isn't straight-forward because we don't have code
that sends threading::Values over the Broker connection. We could
convert the Val's into threading::Values once received, but that'd be
kind of odd:: I'm pretty sure the distinction was due to
threading::Values being quite a bit more efficient to send.

It should be pretty straight-forward to add the necessary 
threading::Value-to-Broker conversion code (just a bit tedious :).
I'll look into that.
