It should, through the underlying libwww-perl library.  libwww-perl sends the 
TE header instead of Accept-Encoding though, so the server serving those 
compressed documents needs to support it.

On the other hand, based on a quick test, it looks like not all public 
Validator servers send the TE header, I'll send some mails to ask if 
something can be done about it.
