Actually there is a 'magically compressed format' that some browsers
understand - a browser can send the 'Accept-encoding' header to indicate
which formats of which gzip is accepted by later versions of IE and
Netscape. In tests I've seen up to reductions of up to 75% of the original
size from it.
I think the problems I'm having must be due to some mix-up with the
mime.types file for Apache - everything is being sent back as text/plain
which is why html tags are being ignored.

That's a useful idea actually - amother potential use for this is when using
template systems which can often add a fair amount of whitespace extending
the page unnecessarily.
