Fair enough. =) If we’re making supporting Content-Encoding: gzip mandatory, then that makes sense. However, in that world I’d want to say that we shouldn’t be implicitly appending identity, we should be implicitly appending gzip. If we’re saying that uncompressed data is weird, then you should have to ask for it explicitly, IMO.

Sure: that’s why I put it as a parenthetical note rather than stick on it. I just wanted to flag it now so that it’s dealt with at some point, because as I said earlier, I like the general shape of this.
