As lossless data compression means exploiting background information on the subspace of which a given data string stems, the most efficient algorithm would be an SVG-specific one. With such a file type - specific compression, which for example could treat appropriately html, svg, javascript etc. subparts of a document, such differences in compression rate should become marginal. Are there plans to develop such a thing? Maybe this is not exactly the right mailing list for this idea.(?) Dominik Lenné
