LZMA compression

Hello:

Has anyone considered devising a new RFB encoding which uses LZMA 
compression?  I think it would be worthwhile, since LZMA typically has a 
much better compression ratio than zlib or bzip2.  Also, if the LZMA 
dictionary is reasonably large, I'm guessing that the compression ratio 
will improve significantly after the first few framebuffer updates. 
This is only a conjecture at this point, so I was wondering if anyone 
has pursued this idea further.
