Hugh, maybe you can contribute something in this area. You help is really appreciated. What do you think is the best solution qooxdoo can deliver? Is gzipping scripts really supported in IE7? I wasn't aware of that they have fixed the issues of IE6 in IE7. Can you point me to related online resources regarding this topic? Would it be helpful to directly generating a gzipped version of the generated script? Other than that, what do you think could be deliver to assist the users in this area?
