I mean, we have spent a great deal of effort over the last couple of decades to minimize state in general, in TCP TCBs in particular, and so on. We've done that for a reason. Also, there had better be a bound to stateful compression state size, and therefore, deterministic synchronization or a synchronization protocol (which would... add latency). It's not at all obvious to me that stateful compression is a good idea. It is clear that only stateful compression can do something about values that get repeated a lot, like cookies and URL prefixes, but I'm not sure that's worth the trouble. Nico --
