Yes.  The decision of the S/MIME WG more than a year ago was to put all of 
the mandatory to implement algorithms in this document.  In this case, we 
need to say:

      If an implementation chooses to support compression, then
      the implementation MUST support the ZLIB compression
      algorithm.
