+//! XOR delta compression for f64 polygon coordinates.
+//!
+//! Lossless compression for floating-point lat/lon coordinates using XOR delta encoding on IEEE
+//! 754 bit patterns with variable-length integer encoding. Designed for per-polygon random access
+//! in the document store, where each polygon compresses independently without requiring sequential
+//! decompression.
+//!
+//! Spatially local coordinates share most high-order bits. A municipal boundary spanning 1km has
+//! consecutive vertices typically within 100-500 meters, meaning their f64 bit patterns share
+//! 30-40 bits. XOR reveals these common bits as zeros, which varint encoding then compresses
+//! efficiently.
+//!
+//! The format stores the first coordinate as raw 8 bytes, then XOR deltas between consecutive
+//! coordinates encoded as variable-length integers. When compression produces larger output than
+//! the raw input (random data, compression-hostile patterns), the function automatically falls
+//! back to storing coordinates as uncompressed 8-byte values.
+//!
+//! Unlike delta.rs which uses arithmetic deltas for i32 spatial coordinates in the block kd-tree,
+//! this module operates on f64 bit patterns directly to preserve exact floating-point values for
+//! returning to users.
