Maybe this is where our disconnect is?

Can you give me a pointer to the code for the data structures you're
thinking of?

When I say binary data, I'm thinking of the guest memory being saved..

Rob, I'm not hear to argue with you.


Likewise, I don't feel like we are arguing..I look at this as trying to
hash out a solution to the problem.

I understand your stance is that the UPB patch solves the problem we're
discussing. And I've given my reasons why the patch falls short.

 I don't see how we are wasting the lists time. So far, we've stayed on
topic and have kept it civil.
