Fine.  DO IT!  I'll be anxiously awaiting seeing 
this wonderful new compression scheme that you have
in mind.  Frankly I don't think that a "committee"
made up of people on this mailing list is going
to do a better job.  But hey, prove me wrong.
As for what I find "refreshing" about colorForth
is that you can tackle existing problems 
efficiently.  BMP in 4 screens.  JPEG in 7.
Chuck estimates TCP/IP in 3.
