<h3><a class="header" href="#typed-variables-vs-byte-encodings" id="typed-variables-vs-byte-encodings">Typed variables vs byte encodings</a></h3>
<p>For Sapling, we have encountered multiple places where the specification uses typed
variables to define the consensus rules, but the C++ implementation in zcashd relied on
byte encodings to implement them. This resulted in subtly-different consensus rules being
deployed than were intended, for example where a particular type was not round-trip
encodable.</p>
<p>In Orchard, we avoid this by defining the consensus rules in terms of the byte encodings
of all variables, and being explicit about any types that are not round-trip encodable.
This makes consensus compatibility between strongly-typed implementations (such as this
crate) and byte-oriented implementations easier to achieve.</p>
