Compressing a TLS layer makes no sense at all. So if I want compression
(and not using TLS compression itself), I would first start TLS and
after that zlib. In that order zlib compresses XML data, the other way
around it compresses encrypted data which is much less effective.

But maybe the choices here are TLS with compression in TLS _or_ zlib and
no TLS. But IMHO TLS should be mandatory which raises the question if we
need zlib compression at all.

Does this make sense?
