I guess the important thing to do is get it drafted into (if not the
standard then) recommended guidelines, so if browsers / servers want
to support http/1.1 they need to support the gzip/ungzip of the html

If will follow up on the suggested reading, reason for this posting
was that it seemed to make sense to do to save bandwidth
