I don't recall lz4 or Zstd metioning in this context. Both Chrome/Chromium and Firefox accepts it by default (didn't check Microsoft products yet).Acceptance by multiple popular browsers is a good reason to /also/ propose brotli support in the stdlib. Though it'd probably make sense to actually _support_ Accept-Encoding based on available compression modules within the stdlib http.client (and potentially server) as a prerequisite for that reasoning. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/http/client.py#L1168.
FWIW, Brotli has been supported in Microsoft Edge since early last year: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2016/12/20/introducing-brotli-compression/
