Remarks
Define the ending point of the data associated with a type.

Each type follows a consistent format on the wire as defined by the DOF ProtocolSpecification. The base class constructor writes the length associated with the type, and to do so needs a mark placed in the buffer.

This routine must be called by all extending classes before they write their associated type data.
