So this is just LZ with a pre-populated window? Any backreferenceing compression can be used this way - just prepopulate the backreference history on both client and server up front and off you go. Why is this new?
Per the article, it’s new to browsers, not compression generally, due to the lack of standardization. the future is already here, just not evenly distributed.
