Right, i think it best to use what implementation specific packages make
sense to you.

We still have to work out dependencies between FISE and FIME code. I
think this may take a little time. My preference would be to do a
complete new implementation of FIME without impl dependencies on FISE
i.e. fork it. This is because the optimization strategies are completely
different for ME and SE e.g. FISE provides a base layer for multiple
parsers and this may not be the most optimal for a StAX only
parser/serializer for FIME.

After we can take a step back and look at what correlations we can see
for potential sharing.

Only for interfaces and non-implementation specific code. This is still
only half-backed. The vocabulary APIs need to be defined and i would be
interested to know what APIs might also be suitable for FIME because
reducing the size of messages is quite inmportant in this space, hence
using an external vocabulary could be rather useful.
