Sequential decoding

I notice there is some confusion on sequential decoding and algorithms. The Fano algorithm (which doesn't currently seem to have a page on Wikipedia) is a low-memory sequential decoding algorithm. Shannon-Fano coding is a data compression technique and AFAIK is just related by having the same inventer. Perhaps we need a page on sequential decoding?

The Img. 2 is said to have a constraint length of 4, but I can only see a length of 3, since reg3 has no effect on any output (it is used twice for output 1 (which cancels out in xor)). Am I wrong?
