Experience shows that would be a significant impediment to deployment, so the tradeoff should be carefully examined: is it worth constraining the protocol's use to promote interoperability with a set of buggy servers? Specifically, how large is that set, and how current is our information about it?

Content encodings are currently disallowed from being requested on *any* request. `Accept-Encoding` is a forbidden request-header. The change proposed here shouldn't affect behavior at all.
