Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing—Reduced (COBS/R)

I've made a small improvement to the COBS algorithm, and called it Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing—Reduced (COBS/R). I'm not sure if it's "notable" enough for Wikipedia, though. Would it be worthwhile to publish it, e.g. to arXiv? Cmcqueen1975 (talk) 21:15, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Python and C implementations

I've made a Python implementation of COBS and COBS/R. Also a C implementation, which is more robust against buffer overflows etc. I have no idea about implementations in other languages. Could a list of implementations in various languages be added to the article? Cmcqueen1975 (talk) 21:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Other References

I found this to be a more readable reference for COBS:
