Re: [whatwg/fetch] Additional reasoning for sending Accept-Encoding: identity (#764)

I hadn't realised that if a resource is encoded, a range is taken from that encoded resource. So if the range is `bytes=1-`, and the content is encoded, `fetch()` will always reject when it tries to decode the content.

If the server returns unencoded data, this failure won't occur.
