Adam's original proposal included a name compression mechanism
(Adam Langley wrote the initial draft a few years ago, and we've
picked it up with his blessing).  We decided to drop it because
it adds some complexity (and the possibility of error) with
questionable benefit, given that signatures are going to be the
bigger consumer of space in the extension.
