I'm sure that Esmond was referring to these pages:

It seemed to me that you had identified the structural pieces anyway--  
0x51 followed by an object serialization stream containing  
ReturnValue, which is (on normal return) 0x01 followed by a UID  
(formatted as previously discussed) followed by an optional value  
which is not present for a void method.  The purpose of this UID, by  
the way, is only for reference by a possible future DgcAck message  
sent by the client.
