+Some issue as to whether compression is better done as a "Content
+Encoding" which actually changes the content, or as a "Transfer
+Encoding", which doesn't change the content, just the messages.
+
+The latter seems preferable, but possibly less widely supported.  See
+http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11641923/transfer-encoding-gzip-vs-content-encoding-gzip.
