| 7 | 1 | J. Moringen | For "fundamental" types, the mapping is based on "the type mapping used by Google's protocol buffers":http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/proto.html#scalar. |

| 24 | 2 | J. Moringen | For structured data types using more sophisticated serialization mechanisms, the resulting wire schemas could be designated by something like @MECHANISM:MECHANISM-SPECIFIC-DESIGNATOR@. For example |
