The discussion of this draft makes it sound like implementations
will have additional complexity to support certificate
compression. Complexity adds security risks, so just how much
benefit does certificate compression provide? My naive thinking
is that most of the data in certificates is signatures, which
shouldn't be very compressible.
Of course, for small systems, even a small improvement may be important.
