Hi,

I'd like to understand a bit better what it means when it is said that "binary 
CAS serialization requires the type system to be identical". I have implemented 
a simple CAS consumer and reader based on the CASCompleteSerializer. As far as 
I understand it, the CASCompleteSerializer serializes not only the feature 
structures but also the complete type system and index repository. I understand 
that when I deserialize that into a fresh CAS, whatever type system is already 
in the CAS is fully replaced by the deserialized type system. Consequently, all 
binary CAS written and later read using the CASCompleteSerializer should always 
fullfil the requirement "the type system is identical". 

Is this correct?

Cheers,

-- Richard
