Hm. I have seen serialized XML files that exceeded that size while having no line-break in it. Although these certainly compress better than a random binary stream, it still shows a short-coming in the algorithm as I see it.

Would it be possible to artificially break "long lines" at the e.g. 4k mark to ease that situation? IMHO, that shouldn't make a big difference in performance, won't interfere with standard-usage, and should still be compatible with the binary patch implementation.
