You could, but I think for most web applications the authors wouldn’t think about binary encoding. So you’d end up with something like:

  {“x”:50,”y”:56}
Encoded as a UTF8 string, which is 15 bytes, x100 is 1.5kb/second/participant.

Ok, I guess that’s still not that much.

So you implement spline logic rather than a byte stream? Doesn't make sense to me.

That’ll get compressed a bit too.
