Including things like images and videos, which are already compressed, and likely as not, will get larger when you recompress them. > These guys do testing to confirm their assumptions. This is how any science gets done... hypothesis, then experimentation As to your comments on how compression works, I admit my lack of knowledge on how lz works. But I trust the results of the experiments done by the guys at the University of Delaware. If you have a better dictionary in mind, take their sample data, run the same experiment with your dictionary, and post your results on spdy-dev. That's how they got their change in the spec in the first place. > ... but as protocol designers from Google the work done with Spdy is just unacceptably bad. Any actual examples? If you had any real basis for your arguments, I'd be more than willing to back you up on spdy-dev.
