The point of extensions is that they are not a mandatory part of the spec. They
are not required for interop. It is perfectly possible to make a client and
service work without deflate-stream. Just as the extension is optional for a
service, it should be optional for a client. I don't understand why this is an
interoperability nightmare - it's part of the extensibility mechanism in the
protocol.
