Ah, if you just want to make the UTF-8 requirement less strict for simpler decoders, that can be actually okay. My belief is more about legacy encodings like Shift_JIS.
I never seriously tried to fit any graph struture into a serialization format, so I don't yet have a very concrete opinion besides from what was already said. (I'm not even sure Concise had a good approach for that...)
