Well, at least when an outgoing XmlHttpRequest goes with a body, the
spec could require that upon setting the Content-Encoding header to
"gzip" or "deflate", that the body be adequately transformed. Or is
there another e.g. to POST a gzip request with Content-Encoding?
Why can it not just be added transparently by the XHR implementation?
