Proposal:
In the compact serialization there are multiple ways to represent certain cases of empty Nodes - as the Node, with no edge stripe, and as the edge in leaf form (no children). For those cases where there is a unique type of child Node for this edge, the leaf edge is redundant. That is, in all cases it could be converted to the stripe-skipped Node form without loss of information. For parsimony, it would be better to have only one respresentation.
