My view on this one is that we should give the clear design priority at this 
stage and keep the pmap restricted to metadata. It appears to me to be more of 
an extension for a FAST 2.0, whatever that may be. There are still 
implementations out there struggling with FAST 1.1 compliance. I think it is 
better to let the implementations become more mature and the number of FAST 
experts grow before optimizing data into the pmap. The bitgroup extension is 
more significant and already helps a lot with the fields having a very small 
range of values.

Regards,
Hanno.
