There are some painpoints that are being addressed:
1) timestamp : I have had issues with a round-tripping timestamp representation quite a bit
2) decimal : currency is denoted in decimal rather than float and shows the Amazon retail heritage. This is very useful.
3) symbols : I've had cases where symbol table/dictionary would have made big difference in serialized size
