We're updating the content encoding "zstd" to be defined explicitly as:

> Description: A stream of bytes compressed using the Zstandard protocol with a
Window_Size of not more than 8 MB.

I'm a little worried about interoperability here.  We're establishing a
constraint on the use of that content encoding keyword where there wasn't one
before, without some kind of signaling to any current use cases.  If I'm
successfully currently streaming using a Window_Size of 9 MB, and using this
content encoding, what should happen once this is published?
