Magic delimiter constants for indefinite lists. Doesn't seem like a great implementation when you need hacks like that. Plus the size of individual data elements is restricted by the type/length information struct size. JSON is nice because it doesn't try to be very efficient, yet it's wholly better than XML. This is a binary format, not really comparable considering how restricted this is.
