I believe everything on
[1] is still relevant. See 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 in [1]. The data type prefixes are only used
in tables (maps, dictionaries).

When in doubt, take a look at Rabbit's binary codec, which is fairly declarative.

Some particularly relevant parts:

Lines 707-1232 in the [generated, so not in the repo] AMQP 0-9-1 framing code:
