I think it'd be nice to be compatible, especially if a separate
library was carved out.
Also: using chunk identifiers like command-line tools has one nice
benefit; that is, you can just sequence blocks without restrictions as
there is no initial header (which can be downside in some cases too).

What kind of improvements are there? Better hashing? I assume changes
to format wouldn't be needed?

Yes, many other projects have expressed interest in using a pluggable codec.
