Ivan, thank you for documenting this functionality, agree with Pavel here. I think this document is a good starting point and contains a lot of low-level details and great examples but from my perspective it doesn't show how binary objects fit into a broader picture.
It worth adding higher-level details and restructure the document into a top-down article starting from where binary format is used (representation of objects in cache, binary protocol for communications with thin clients) and down to lower details like binary metadata exchange and serialization and container formats. Another option would be to leave the document focused on a low-level details as it is now but build around it drafts for documents describing other aspects of Binary Objects. This will make our documentation much more solid and useful for readers.
