i also wanted to point something out about binary encoding.

the llsd and llsd serialization sections of
draft-vwrap-hamrick-type-system-00 is intended to be a formal description of
a system already deployed. earlier versions of the type system (and the
second life wiki) omitted the fact that arrays and maps have closing tags in
the serialization stream.

someone recently asked me about this in private email, and i figured it was
worth mentioning in public: it's not a typo that arrays and maps have
closing tags in the current draft.
