This is missing '*optional': 'bool'.  Also, how do you distinguish these:

  { 'command': 'query-tpm-types', 'returns': 'TpmType] }
  { 'command': 'query-tpm-types', 'returns': ['TpmType'] }

Could it have to be like this?

   'data': { '*key': 'str', '*type': 'str', '*list': 'bool',
             '*optional': 'bool',
             '*data': ['DataObject'] } }

Can you document, in the commit message or the code, how you avoid
infinite loops (possible with optional or list fields)?
