I've read about a lot of browser problems handling JavaScript zip-compressed
resources.

Are you sure to don't have side effect enabling compression by default?

Hi,

There's a pretty simple optimization we can do to have all our
javascript and css contributions use CompressedResourceReference by
default. The zipped contents are cached, so it is only computed when a
fresh resource is requested (typically doesn't happen unless you
change the file). And it makes a huge difference (e.g. that new YUI
calendar thing I added this weekend went from 92kb to 18kb). Even
though in production setups, you might configure your server to do
this for you, if we do it at this really minimal cost, we're sure it
happens for at least the common cases.

Any objections?
