Hi Matt and Darren,

First thanks for all the feedback over the last year.  I don't think I have
ever expressed my gratitude.

As for this issue of length of binary arrays, again I ask that the hardware
vendors speak on this. Your example of a subset of peaks and charge states
seems to me like the raw data went through some process to get that subset
or to determine charge, hence this should be a new mzML file. Just my 2¢
