Yes, many implementations is the intent.

I would argue DBUF does satisfy this statement. The symbols compose in a way that separates the structure from the meaning. A parser doesn't need to know what a quaternion is, it would only see it as a map with 4 fields. If a parser understands the first 16 symbols in the registry, it can parse any message. All other symbols are encoded in a predetermined way.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on how the docs are not making those concepts clear.
