So far I think there's only two types of encoders and decoders:
streaming and non-streaming.  I don't think we'll see more types.  If
the list stays short, then "yes".

> Proposal: we simply list what we want encoders and parsers to do without saying what type of encoder, or what type of parser, gets to do what.

I would like to say that those parsers than can MUST accept only the
last value.  I would also like to not preclude parsers that can't even
detect duplicates keys (streaming parsers).

I would like to say that encoders that can MUST NOT send duplicate
keys.  I would also like to not preclude encoders that can't even
detect that they are sending duplicate keys.
