  I wish the words "Huffman Tree" would go away entirely. Huffman, as used in the past 40 years, actually describes a scheme commonly called "Canonical Huffman"[0] that can be constructed entirely without a tree. ryg recommends reading this paper on it [1], and I wholeheartedly agree. Other than that, great article!

  The styling of this web page is like a breath of fresh air. Peaceful, even.
