and a binary version of the canonical encoding also would leave out the event IDs and only retain the signatures

anyway, the bigger struggle with this is the morons who think shit like CBOR and MSGPACK and Protobuf etc are more important debate materials

they really aren't, and i think that there really is a lot of justification for the idea of just making one binary encoding canonical form that gives you a second signature field and done

any programming language doing binary RPC should be able to deal with it, i don't think it's even that hard in javascript to decode binary data and unpack it into JSON and import it
