Very nice work.

I think a next stage will be to assign encoders based on the schema
type. I expect just using the builtin ones like ints/floats will save a
fair bit of space.

Even better compression(but loss of encoding time) would be to find the
smallest type available to represent the data. Ie 0.0 could be
represented as a byte. But I'm not positive of the InfoSet requirements
for this. To me if the schema calls that a float and I return 0 its ok.
  But the string based InfoSet thinks 0.0 is not the sames as 0.
