Michael, Joerg: On the issue of if this being handled by mod_gzip or mod_deflate, Apache's own Batik Squiggle does not, in my experience, receive compressed SVG if compression is handled this way. Nor do I see why it should send a "Accept-Encoding: gzip" header to get *.svgz, since they are not a compressed form of the original (like html that has been gzipped by the above), but rather a proper manifestation of the document, like jpg compression. Secondly, there is the issue of sparing your cache. See the introduction to my http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Gzip_XML_Serializer (I would post this to the dev group, but I never seem to be able to get subscribed to that.) I can see Michael's argument for a reader-based implementation, but efficient caching is a sine qua non for me. Could something be done with a view? I'm glad to hear this is on the radar of the developers', for whose hard work I am most grateful.
