I like ASCII-preserving encodings, e.g. Fossil delta format (deltas of plain text are plain text): https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/tip/www/delta_format.wiki Thinking of making an ASCII-preserving variant of LZ4 compression: - token and offset: 4 chars, base64 encoded (originally 1 byte token, 2 bytes for offset) - literal and match overflows: base95 ('cause it's just addition, no complex decode) Seems to fit perfectly and can be transformed easily to the original spec. Framing format would probably use base64 for everything.
