Description
Out-of-line variable data allows for fast access, but the pervasive use of offsets increase encoded size.
It might be nice to provide a compact encoding, without offsets. This encoding would be most similar to protobufs.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing out-of-line encoding and its offset usage, then compare the desired compact representation with protobuf-style encoding; done requires a defined format and an agreed implementation scope.
