@@ -22,3 +22,61 @@ The code for a single type is split across 3 files. Let's look at PnpResult:
 - Protobuf: slow on embedded platforms (at least quickbuf is)
 - Wpi's struct: no VLAs/optionals
 - Rosmsg: I'm not using ros, but I'm stealing their message hash idea
+
+## Deviations from WPI's Struct Schema Typestrings
+
+- Enum types are disallowed
+- Bitfields and bit packing are disallowed
+- Only variable length arrays are supported (no fixed-length arrays)
+- Arrays must be no more than 127 elements long
+- Members can be either VLAs or optional, but not both
+- A top-level NT topic type shall be a single type (eg TargetCorner), and cannot an array of types (eg TargetCorner[] or TargetCorner[?])
+- `float` and `double` types will be replaced with float32/float64 when generating message schema strings. This means that `float32 x;` and `float x;` will result in the same message hash.
+
+For example, this is a valid PhotonStruct schema. Note the WPILib `Transform3d`, the Photon-defined `TargetCorner`, optional prefix, and VLA suffix.

+```

+
+## Dynamic Decoding
+
+Dynamic decoding is facilitated by publishing schemas to the `.schema` table in NT, and by encoding the `message_uuid` as a property on a `photonstruct` publisher. Schema names in the .schema table shall be formatted as `photonstruct:{Type Name}:{Message UUID}`. For example, here I've published Photon results to `/photonvision/WPI2024/rawBytes`. This topic has the typestring `photonstruct:PhotonPipelineResult:ed36092eb95e9fc254ebac897e2a74df`, with properties `{message_uuid': 'ed36092eb95e9fc254ebac897e2a74df'}`. It shall be legal to have published multiple versions of the same message, as long as their UUIDs are unique (which they'd better be).
