Review Comment:
   That's... interesting... 
   * How does the reader determine that they have encountered such a record in 
the first place, if it occupies zero bytes?
   * How does the reader infer the number of zero-byte records the writer 
intended to produce? 
   * How does one get "past" the record to read the (presumably normal) records 
that fill the rest of the block?
