Add Mark Adler's edits to the specification. The specification source is changed in this commit to exactly mirror the specification edited by Mark Adler: https://github.com/madler/brotli/blob/master/brotli-02-edit.nroff (version 70e53d7)
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
