Except that coding only the progression and not the actual values lessens the usefulness of quantizing. We may have one group of remailers/users which uses the Hughes sequence: 1, 4, 16, 64, and another group that uses another sequence: 3, 9, 27, etc.
I'm not saying we'll ever get everybody to agree, but there are times when it's better to converge on solid, actual numbers and not on the more-elegant abstract progressions.
But maybe I'm misunderstanding the point here.
I think you are; My point was much more trivial than that; I'm just suggesting that the 1,4,16,64 be extended to 256, 1024, 4096,... -- L. Todd Masco | "Which part of 'shall not be infringed' didn't cactus@bb.com | you understand?"
