So far we have less than 50 messages (I think it's around 25 or so, but I'll estimate high to prove my point). I'm allocating a whole byte for messages, so we have 5* expansion potential with using only single-byte encodings. And of course we can always do the UTF thing and use multi-byte encodings if we need to. But I realy doubt we'll come up with 200 more messages. The fields part will be handled such that unknown fields (to the compression function) just get high-bitted, and sent through as they are. This way arbitrary fieldsets can still be transmitted, but the fields we use commonly are still sent efficiently.
