I do feel like "Stream compression formats" should really be more Unix definition of it. It's a common misconception that (novice) users falsely believes [[tar]] is like [[ZIP|zip]], meaning that it supports compression, when in fact that's handled externally. That, and stream compressors has no concept of multiple file inclusions, where if several files were fed into the stream compression program, the result would be several discretely compressed files, instead of "archived" as one single compressed file in that sense.
