Mitra points out that, for small files, there may be drawbacks to
compression. This may well be true (wouldn't even be surprising), but
is it important? I don't *think* we're talking about replacing the
existing format, just adding alternatives. Am I incorrect? Is anyone
actually proposing that we we move to *only* a binary format? Or, for
that matter, *requiring* compression?
If not, this is a non-issue -- people can use the format that makes
sense for the situation. For tiny files, it will probably be common
to stay uncompressed...
