Google does some weird things detecting who gets gzip and who doesn't

http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/

reports Google isn't Gzipped.  Nor is my appengine hosted instance, but when
I surf in Chrome I get Gzip (most the time)

Subject: [google-appengine] Gziping of response does not appear to be
working

App Engine documentation tells me that if the client requesting supports
gzip ("Accept-Encoding: gzip"), the response will automatically be
compressed. I'm not seeing this, all my content appears to be sent
plaintext. Simple test: curl --compressed -v "http://www.localmind.com";

Am I missing something? I'm not doing anything funky in the response code,
as far as I know. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
