Thanks for the info — this is relevant to my interests. When TouchDB PUTs a 
gzipped attachment body it marks it as encoded in the JSON _attachments dict; 
so CouchDB shouldn't be needing to decompress it right then, since it can store 
it in the gzipped form (unless it wants to validate the data integrity first?)

Also, the Content-Length of the attachment MIME body is the gzipped length, not 
the uncompressed length.

Anyone got a bug number I could look at? I'd really appreciate it!
