 Replying to [comment:11 Denis-de-Bernardy]:
 > We should educate users to switch to better hosts, of the kind that
 enable this by default.
 In principle I agree with that, but the fact is that some hosts which are
 good in most/all other respects don't have mod_deflate for some reason,
 whilst some which do have it are rubbish in other respects.
 Also, not all users know how to switch hosts or can afford to.
