Compacting the code doesn't make much sense, correct. mod_gzip does.  
Surprisingly few people know about it. Even Zope can do this kind of  
encoding natively, and writing a small MonkeyPatch that turns it on should  
be very easy. Anybody up for it? :)

In my opinion, Plone should ship with this as default.

Not really. Browsers that don't support this are given uncompressed  
versions of the page, and I believe all recent versions of Netscape 4  
support it - I haven't seen any problems loading plone.org in my tests  
with Netscape 4.
