If that's what the spec says, then the tests are broken, yes.  It's not clear 
whether this is the right thing for the spec to say....  It might be.

There are a number of sites that do get broken by the Content-Encoding thing. 
Not as many as by not sniffing at all, but enough.

Not at the moment, no.  It wouldn't be too hard to add a preference for this, I 
suppose...  Not sure it's worth it.  What are the use cases?
