Comment:
1.comp_algo is always set. It should be e.g. ALG_NULL by default. 
>> I am bit confused. Are you suggesting adding a description to "comp 
>> ALG_NULL+hash"? We agreed in past that " user must use crypto for standalone 
>> hashing and compression algo NULL is only for testing purpose" and current 
>> description on usage of hash and ALG_NULL abide that.  So, we can leave 
>> current description as is.
2. What this means: "output should always contain data + hash" ? If we enable 
hashing, hash is always calculated. It's not optional for implementation to 
calculate it - right.
>> I will rephrase it to "output *will* always contain data + hash".
