It looks like Protobuf actually has a test suite to ensure compliance with the protocol:

Seems like a good idea for protocols in general to have an official test suite, as a way to address this problem

I also read that Salt was using MessagePack to format their messages. MessagePack is a format like JSON, but more compact.

Sorry, but I don't think it looks like MessagePack. I wonder why you think so? MUS format does not contain a data types, unlike MessagePack. So, for example, the uint8 type in MessagePack can be encoded with two bytes (from the MessagePack specification): uint 8 stores a 8-bit unsigned integer +--------+--------+ | 0xcc |ZZZZZZZZ| +--------+--------+ The same data type in MUS format is encoded with just one byte. This fact alone is quite a significant difference.
