Hi,

I strongly agree with this. Compression is a very useful safety belt
making statistical cryptanalysis substantially harder even if the used
cipher begins showing weakness.

Cheers,

Daniel

Hi,

Vincent said that my mail was too rambling. I agree. Here is the short 
Version:

* Compression is good and necessary.
* Standardized compression is good.
* I don't want to use unstandardized compression only because you do not want 
to implement compression in sequoia.
* There is no reason the change the standard. Compression has been around for 
ages. It is _standard_ and working well.
