If I compress a splat cloud with the SPZ library for the draft glTF SPZ extension, which SPZ version and coordinate system must I use, and what has SPZ changed since v3.0.0?

The draft glTF SPZ extension targets SPZ v2 and requires LUF axes, while SPZ main defaults to pack version 4 (ZSTD) and RUB storage with an UNSPECIFIED source system, so a producer using SPZ defaults will not match the draft. The draft's SH table maps degree 1 to COEF_0, COEF_2, COEF_3, which does not match the base extension's COEF_[0-2] (likely a typo; unconfirmed with authors). Curator qualifications: READMEs read 2026-10-22; nothing compressed or rendered. SPZ commit history after v3.0.0 from producer reading. Limitations: READMEs read 2026-10-22; nothing compressed or rendered. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
