Can you come up with a use-case for that? I can't think of one 
myself, unless it's a new stream feature that's inherent in the 
compression algorithm. None of our existing compression algorithms 
have any, and future compression ought to be TLS based, so 
realistically the features would belong in the TLS layer.
