not sure what you hoped to accomplish with that. yes all documents are a byte array. this is not the same thing a the STRING type. this JSON document: 0 and this JSON document: 0.0 might compose a different stream of bytes

> JSON document "0" vs the JSON document "0.0" nope. both those documents are a STRING type, not a number type.

there is no such thing as -0. if you want to say "zero approaching from negative one", fine, say that. but that IS NOT the same thing as -0. zero is just zero, it doesn't have a sign. some people just want everything to fit i

its not a problem with the software, its a problem with the web site adding features that only work with the newest browser, without any fallback for older browsers.

not sure about Chrome, but you can turn off update on Firefox. I do this, and for good reason. I dont like the constant churn of browser UI moving around and changing every few months. So users in that situation should not be punished by we

Exactly, they could have added an extra wire type to signify messages without costing any extra bytes. Nothing is stopping ProtoBuf from being self describing except incompetence.
