Yes, that is the implication. Even if you include "Accept-Encoding: rot13", you effectively get *either* "Accept-Encoding: rot13, identity, gzip, deflate" or "Accept-Encoding: rot13, identity, gzip". This is a change from 1.1, which implies "Accept-Encoding: rot13, identity" only. I had inferred the gzip+deflate, but Mark points out that this could also be interpreted as the latter. Hence this thread requesting clarification. I hope that I'm not completely off-base on this. No one wants to remove this entirely and revert to "identity" only, do they?
