Hey, I can do that, too.

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-bormann-apparea-bpack-00.txt

How many of these do we need?

(I'm actually quite serious with binarypack, as there is a lot of stuff out there that uses msgpack, and it probably would be a good idea to do a version with IETF change control.  Area of application for me is mostly constrained node/network REST, but of course it is a quite universal hammer.  Not the impact wrench that protocol buffers is :-)
