That sounds like a much better idea, though it requires whole-project 
analysis of how what libraries you use (potentially even whole-site). 
Then ideally you'd gzip that ahead of time, and send that gzip encoded. 
  (By not gzipping in a filter it's a lot easier to figure out things 
like Content-Length.)
