Yes, that's what I meant: a compression *format* like SCSU or BOCU-1, as
opposed to a (general-purpose) compression *algorithm* like Huffman or
LZ or arithmetic coding. The distinction makes sense in the context of
my paper, but I probably should have explained it here.
BTW, the paper is awaiting final comments from one last reviewer.
