The problem

Due to the { and } encoding, YABE encoding requires to parse all data to be able to access any data. So it doesn't allow to skip the content of an object or an array.

The goal

It is thus desirable to also provide support for data envelope encoding where the data byte size is provided and YABE encoding version as well.

The solutions

1. Should we use a blob for that and use the mime type to encode the version ? The benefit is that it avoids the addition of a new data type.
2. Should we remove the small object and array encoding for the benefit of freeing tag space and using it to introduce a new tag type for a YABE envelope blob ?
