Hello Taki Kamiya,

Thanks for the response.

The self-contained elements will not work for my scenario (if I'm
restricted to non-compression mode). In that scenario skipping is only a
bonus.

My scenario pre-compresses multiple XML fragments and then combines
these into multiple EXI streams/documents.
AFAIK: This scenario is prevented by the same constraints which prevent
"skipping" in compressed mode.

I'll explain the scenario in more detail along with some questions in
the next email (subject: Precompressed EXI Fragments).
