Proposal: GZip Compression

[Ben Poor]

Dear All,

I propose adding in a section to the RadioEPG specification providing guidance on the use of Gzip compression of documents within RadioEPG.

So at the end of Section 2, Document Retrieval, I would add a statement such as:

Should a client request indicate that they will accept Gzip compressed documents using the Accept-Encoding header, the service provider may optionally respond with a compressed document using one of the indicated algorithms. The service provider must include the compression method within the Content-Encoding header in the HTTP response. If requesting any compression, the client MUST inspect the response to determine if, and how, any returned documents have been compressed.

Makes perfect sense.
