Right. So my base is *not* "ELF is best", but it is "ELF is just fine for this, so why would we need another format, with all infrastructure overhead that requires?". So please start by explaining what is bad, or even just sub-optimal, in using ELF here.
Let's take it one thing at a time.
First question.
What is the means by which I can create an ELF file such that the segment data is compressed, but the segment headers are not, and I can know which compression algorithm was used, so that I can do a streaming decompress of a segment into memory, a.k.a zero-copy?
