Format limits like the 32MiB for blob size vs. application choices like the 8k objects per block. Stringtable requirements vs. application details like the way strings are sorted to support better compression. (There is a lot of "I do this, I do that" in the "PBF Format" wiki page on the stringtable implementation and its not entirely clear that this refers to the Java reference implementation and others might do it differently etc.) Jochen -- Jochen Topf [email protected] http://www.remote.org/jochen/ +49-721-388298 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
