I was wondering this same question when this arrived in my mailbox.
It seems to me that one could achieve a very substantial reduction
in size (>90%?) while creating only a very small increase in the
error rate, as it seems these will only occur in areas where
boundaries contain very small scale details. I'll admit that have
not attempted an empirical test of this conjecture. <br>
