One questions, otherwise lgtm
| 2. If it returns `undefined`, no encoding is necessary. | ||
| 3. If it returns an `EncodeData` object and the emitter recognizes `EncodeData.encoding`, apply that encoding. | ||
| 4. If it returns `EncodeData` but the emitter does not recognize `EncodeData.encoding`, treat the scalar or property as if its type is `EncodeData.type` instead of the original logical type. We call this process _decay_. | ||
