Yeah, protocol buffers were designed for servers where we often have absurd binary sizes already and don't mind that much. I'm certainly open to the idea of creating a stripped-down implementation -- though this isn't something I'd have time to work on myself. It might also help to look for uses of templates in the current library and see if binary size can be reduced by avoiding them. Also, if you statically link your binaries you may find that the linker is able to drop a lot of stuff from the library, making for a smaller binary in the end, so long as you weren't hoping to share the library between multiple binaries on the device.
