Backport of #5441.

  • no schema changes are needed for this pull request

In section 4.14.5.2 (Encoding by Position) we already said: "To use the
prefixEncoding and/or itemEncoding fields, either itemSchema or a schema
indicating an array type MUST be present.", however there is no parallel
guidance in 4.14.5.1 (Encoding by Name) that says that the encoding field MUST
also have a schema indicating an object type present.
This is the same phrasing as in "Encoding by Name" which states that the
`encoding` fields do nothing if they don't have a corresponding data
instance.
