Hi

Afaik i see no negative implications although i miss information about percentage gained.

That said

Would it make sense to allow SHORT (2 byte) too?

Small tiles and strips could result in multiple identical ones. That could optimize transmission time by referencing earlier sent tiles that are identical.

Such a compression scheme should know the logical structure of BIGTIFF.

Just thinking out loud
