> UMF is being used in IoT (Internet of Things) applications where message sizes need to remain small. To allow UMF to be used in resource contained environments a short form of UMF is offered.

Then offer it in Protobuf :-) In general, I don't understand where this would be used instead of an app's specific envelope. The use cases should be specified better because it's really easy for any app to just send their own preferred JSON format without following this.

Tangentially related, I similarly tried to make a messaging format (but with more bells and whistles and more about the transfer, storage, permissions, etc). The proto files are at [0] and the messaging platform is still under active development.
