Re: h2#404 requiring gzip and/or deflate

Martin, I don't think you should take that as editorial as it conflicts
with some of the implicit-gzip use cases.

CE gzip was made a fixed part of the protocol, in part, because
intercepting intermediaries (or antivirus libraries as a subset of that)
were explicitly stripping negotiation for it for their own convenience.
Making it non negotiable enhances the robustness of the protocol against
that which is imo the right trade given the history here and the importance
of compression.
