What I've done in the C# port is have the concept of a streaming writer and a streaming reader (iterator). The stream is exactly the same as if it were all part of one "container" protocol buffer with a repeated field (number 1). You can see the code at: http://github.com/jskeet/dotnet-protobufs/tree/master/src/ProtocolBuffers/MessageStreamIterator.cs and http://github.com/jskeet/dotnet-protobufs/tree/master/src/ProtocolBuffers/MessageStreamWriter.cs (The iterator is quite complicated due to generics stuff - the GetEnumerator method near the bottom is the critical loop.) The nice thing about this is that if you *have* a container element which is just a repeated field 1, you can use the two interchangably. I may add more options for flexibility (variable field number, skipping inappropriate fields etc) later, but this is a reasonable start. Hope that helps.
