The sad part about Kaitai is that it doesn’t do encoding, which I only found out later.

If the source was a binary data, shouldn't the Kaitai parsed struct be dumpable using the likes of fwrite()? Or do you mean encoding the strings and bit-fields?

They possibly mean the encoding of application data into a wire protocol for example.
