The current changes in this PR involve the implementation that was discussed at that time and also have implemented the review suggestions from that time. Here are those previous discussions and reviews:

Marking as reviewed. Don't forget to update the Inflater class with similar wording changes as Deflater. Then copy the spec diffs into the CSR and I'll review it too.
