The XHTML reasoning is that in most cases, the text between tags consists
of more lowercase text than uppercase text, and thus the overall document
will compress better when sent thru mod_gz (ducks ;-)
Because more text will be "equal" (i.e., share common sub-strings), the
compression ration will improve.
