Lazyweb! Compression please!
I call upon thee, oh mighty and poweful LazyWeb, to make a way to use gzip even when the blogging tool doesn't directly support it!
I'd like to have a way, in MovableType, to indicate that the rendering of a template should be gzipped. Now, of course, this would also mean that the RSS reader programs would also have to understand how to download a gzipped file.
The idea here is to allow for things that can't use genuine gzip header negotiated compression to still work out ways to save bandwidth.

Bill...
Did you try Apache 2.0? I think you can probably do it with 2.0. The whole module system was reworked for almost this exact reason.
IE modules can now layer behavior so that mod_python can be called before mod_gzip.
