I also studied Gambit's serialization mechanisms using object->u8vector for compressing models and speeding up loading times. It turned out great! You can find examples in my post.
Nice! I like your binary format where you use a single byte to indicate the length of the binary encoding of the *length* of the binary encoding of the object! I usually write 4 bytes with the 32- bit length, but its much messier. Neat idea!
