Re: [Standards] XEP-0138 vs. TLS compression

[Jonathan Chayce Dickinson]

"EXI compression *combines* knowledge of XML with a *widely adopted, standard compression algorithm* to achieve higher compression ratios than would be achievable by applying compression to the entire stream."

"which are individually well suited for standard compression algorithms"

If EXI compression is set to true, you SHOULD send the document through a compression library.

nope. would result in larger message sizes in most cases

As far as I understand it, Efficient XML is more than just a compression
algorithm. In order to prevent developer confusion, I think it might be
helpful to write a XEP that describes how Efficient XML is to be used in
the context of XMPP applications. That XEP could also register an item
to be added to the compression algorithms registry.

And this may be a dumb question, having not read the Efficient XML spec, but:
would it be desirable to compress (e.g. with ZLIB) Efficient XML?
