I think we can fix the parser. I have been thinking about how to implement
Schema/Field/Protocol as immutable data structures and a requirement for that
is to prevent cyclic references in the Schema objects, which requires storing
name references and a name based schema registry – the same tools needed for
such a parser.

Although we could make the parser work with use-before-define, it is probably a
good spec simplification to avoid it that will be easier to build and test
across languages.
