I don't think so - from lurking around mod_gzip, I think the folks at Remote
Communications have a pretty good grip on what _really_ accepts compression
and what doesn't (or so I've gathered), but I don't think it's documented
anywhere authoritative (that I know about, at least)
a look at the mod_gzip code
(http://12.17.228.52/mod_gzip/src/1.3.14.3/mod_gzip.txt search for 'Basic
sanity checks completed and we are still here') lists lots of
Accept-Encoding problems, but only mention Nescape 4.75 on unix by name...
