Sure, a single gzip session makes a lot of sense. Unless you consider  
a proxy that bundles into the same SPDY stream several requests from  
different back-end servers. In that case, the proxy needs to  
uncompress from the back-end and compress to the client. With the  
current logic, each backend server can compress his own stuff, and the  
proxy just switches frames.

On the other hand SSLv3 already includes compression, and if SSL is  
strongly recommended, you are doing double compression.

best regards,
