I believe the reason for allowing q values like 0.65 here is that it allows a client to express a preference for a particular hop-level compression algorithm. E.g. TE: chunked, compress;q=0.65, gzip;q=0.8 would mean that gzip compression is preferred over compress-style compression. > >Henrik Koen.
