   I like the new proposal. This previous proposal means readers could fall 
back to reading the primitive values if they don't understand the new logical 
type, whereas there wouldn't be a fallback path for readers that don't 
understand the new repetition type, but I think that's acceptable given it 
allows use of encodings that are better suited to the element values (eg. byte 
stream split for floats or maybe ALP in the future).

   I think the vectors themselves would be non-optional but the child elements 
should be allowed to be optional?
