Review Comment:
   Could we clarify terminology of:
   - set - I assume this means non-null value?
   - absent  - Does this mean not set or the column is missing
   - omitted - Does this mean not set or the column is missing
   - optional - (Does this mean they have repetition level optional?
   
   I think these might be more clearly defined in logical types.  Maybe just 
point readers to logical_types.md for a the full definition to avoid too much 
duplication in case things change in one place or the other?
