I think perhaps if we do want to *mandate* gzip+deflate that this
would be the best way to do it.  It would be trivially possible to
translate "zlib" into "deflate" at a 2.0->1.1 intermediary.

The question is whether the advantages of deflate over gzip warrant
it.  I have no expertise, but it doesn't sound like they are
substantial enough to warrant the extra complexity.
