[Proposal] Should EOD be optional?

What do you think about making EOD optional?
No, the EOD marker isn't there "just because it's nice", but it's required to determine if a file is actually valid TinyVG or just random garbage.
It also allows you to read TinyVG files from a stream with additional data after it without encoding (or knowing) the encoded file size before streaming the data.
In the stream example I agree you would need EOD. Why would you say EOD is required to know whether the file is valid, doesn't the magic/version/header serve that purpose well enough?
