Thanks, Greg. > Alternative approach has already been proposed. That the first bit of the index is used as a flag to indicate static or dynamic table for the remaning 7+ bits. That not only puts both on an even bias, but expands the range of values getting 1-byte encodings in either table and removes the need for the math complexity people are disliking. 1 stone, 3 birds. (The paranoid in me can only think that it is being repeatedly rejected despite evidence of its usefulness because of who proposed it.)
