Or protobuf, which is more compact and very close to what Elizabeth has 
described.  The other option you have for byte code is primitive centric.  
You would have a byte code for each primitive, and a call <address> 
primitive which calls a high level word.  You would be limited to 256 
primitives, which isn't too bad.  For a C-embedded Forth, you would also 
have a call-c <address> bytecode to interface with C (you always have to be 
able to call in both directions).
