Carsten and Colin,
The codes for repeated bytes in Carsten's draft looks similar to the
LZ77 compression used in Deflate. Maybe Deflate could be considered for
the ICMP compression. Nodes may need Deflate code anyway, either for
HTTP compression or X.509 certificate compression.

Then don't look at this half-baked draft:
http://www.tzi.org/~cabo/draft-bormann-6lowpan-ghc-00pre.txt
The actual spec in there is a single page (but doesn't define how it is integrated with
hc-07 NHC yet; that will be another paragraph and might use up the reserved code). It
will probably need another page of "Here's a nice way to use it" for general
ICMP, ND, DHCP and RPL, each.
I'm not at all sure we want to do this, that's why I never submitted it.
(It also helps if you know what RFC3320 is. But that would be way too
complicated here.)
Gruesse, Carsten
