I have a special place in my heart, though, for anyone who spots a case
where we are inefficiently sending data. We need every byte we can get,
both in terms of latency and total bandwidth implications. One project
I'd love to get to (and perhaps have community help with) is a careful
examination of all existing messages to look for bytes we could save.

Yes, you're right. For some reason I was thinking they were 64bit ID's,
when I know they're not.
Apologies

My thoughts:
* Under the current circumstances a packet ID occupies 4 bytes
* While the packet ID's are below 256 (not for very long), you can
save one byte for every packet ID
* Once they get into the range of 256-65535, zero coding would save
nothing
* Once they get into the range of 65536-16777215, zero coding start to
require 5 bytes for each packet ID
I wonder if I understand correctly though?

Hey all,
I was just wondering if there was any practical reason why
AppendedAcks
are not zerocoded in the packet data?
Saving a few bytes means fitting more Acks into each message,
potentially reducing the number of PacketAck messages being sent,
which
means a potentially substantial protocol overhead reduction.
This could also be implemented with backward compatibility by using a
new flag to indicate zerocoded appendedacks.
