Thanks for the HTTP reference; that's quite helpful. Any view on whether it makes more sense to mandate gzip versus deflate combined with a Content-MD5?

Deflate fits better architecturally, IMO. gzip has an uncomfortable overlap with Content-Disposition.

Having to look for filenames both in content-type and content-disposition is bad enough. That it might be in the gzip meta-information as well is No Fun At All.
