Yes, and in fact if we were talking about a brand new protocol, I'd probably argue in favor of putting the compression specifier in the Transfer-Encoding. I think a change in the semantics of Content-Encoding in HTTP/1.1 might be a way to obtain similar benefits without breaking existing software. -Brian
