Energy per transmitted bit, the challenge for many battery powered transceivers. So yes 10% is meaningful

We have had discussions like this on many protocols over the years. Our experience is this kind of thing has little effect on implementations other than complicating debugging. Using a formal compression scheme on the entire message often helps substantially reduce message size, also substantially complicates debugging, and, in general, we don’t think it actually helps implementations. You really think that reducing message sizes from, say 14KB to, say 10KB, which any decent compression system should be able to do, would actually make any difference to a device implemented this year? If those Ks were Ms, it might be worth thinking about, but Ks? Please. Shorter names probably only changes messages sizes by 10% or so, clearly insufficient to do anything other than confuse humans.

That's my understanding of what has been proposed, and I think it's a good idea. Ray
