You have to change it to Allow if you want to enable it.

'Leave unset' means that no criteria in set when that particular rule is 
applied. In case it weren't a final rule and the Behavior rule list evaluation 
continued, a later value could be set (to either allow or deny its use).

It'd work either way.
I personally prefer the web server to perform the compression, so its behavior 
of is as unified as possible.. but, that's just my taste.
