You're talking about scalar fields, right? Because nested message fields can be serialized individually, just like their parents. I think it's a cool idea, and it doesn't look that hard to implement, but I'm not sure how useful it would be - if you're streaming a message, you just need (tag, value) pairs, which is what a full message is anyway, so there's no extra overhead. However, streaming messages definitely needs to be implemented.
