For some reason, when the validator says it supports the x-bzip2 encoding
(cannot verify on validator.w3.org but it does on my local box), the server
decides to send back bzip2 which doesn't seem correct; bzip2 is not a
registered content-coding value:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-3.5
http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-parameters/http-parameters.xml

I suspect it'd work if the server sent x-bzip2, but I cannot verify that. On my
local box for some reason bzip2 works just fine with the validator, I guess
this might be because of differences in libwww-perl versions which is the
library handling the response decoding. Anyway, I don't think this is a bug in
the validator nor libwww-perl but the server or its config.
