-----------------------------------

A three string array can be encoded in Avro binary as:
<1><string1><1><string2><1><string3><0> or <3><string1><string2><string3><0>
{quote}
Oh, I see. You mean that the binary representation of an avro array has
multiple forms. That is an issue. We could require that the single block form
for arrays/maps is used. I believe this is easier than implementing and
testing a conforming json stringification in every language.
