Ok, so let me clarify:

I have always hated the confusion in HTTP/1 between content compressed
for transport purposes, and content compressed for application purposes.

In the former class you have HTML, javascript, CSS etc.

In the latter class you have things like .tgz, gzip'ed XML etc.

It's the former class I want to cut all the way into the bone
and take out of "Accept-Encoding" negotiation.

Accept-Encoding should be reserved only for the second class.
