sounds good in theory, but the name needs something catchier to compete with "ping"... "wbip" or "wbif"

do we need more compression what with internet speeds getting faster? bring back amiga .iff formats =D

Of course.
Assuming a compression achives half the size of another format, essentially it is the same as if your internet speed would double. And you don't have to pay for it, which I think, is the most important aspect. It may not be that relevant for us but think of countries that still have slow connections.
