gollark: Although I think some parsers might *technically* be okay with you reserving 8190 bytes for metadata but then ending it with a null byte early, and handle the offsets accordingly, I would not rely on it.

gollark: Probably. The main issue I can see is that you would have to rewrite the entire metadata block on changes, because start/end in XTMF are offsets from the metadata region's end.

gollark: I thought about that, but:- strings in a binary format will be about the same length- integers will have some space saving, but I don't think it's very significant- it would, in a custom one, be harder to represent complex objects and stuff, which some extensions may be use- you could get some savings by removing strings like "title" which XTMF repeats a lot, but at the cost of it no longer being self-describing, making extensions harder and making debugging more annoying- I am not convinced that metadata size is a significant issue

gollark: I mean, "XTMF with CBOR/msgpack and compression" was being considered as a hypothetical "XTMF2", but I'd definitely want something, well, self-describing.

gollark: Also also, why a binary format?
