To add to Matt's comments and likely Ged would agree, you'll probably
find that Gzip compression is better supported cross browser than
any JavaScript you could come up with. JavaScript breaks in lots of
ways all the time if you just look at IE4-IE5, NS4.0x-NS4.7x. And then
look at them on NT/2000 vs. 95/98/ME, that'll really kill ya.
