I'd suggest warning for 1MB because I doubt that most text content
served on Gemini protocol would exceed 100KB per file, and because
section 3.3 of the spec explicitly states that servers are not supposed
to compress content before sending it down the pipe.
Just to be clear: servers can use MIME types like application/gzip orapplication/zip to serve compressed content if they want to. There'sjust no way to do what HTTP allows, to send compressed data whilespecifying both the compression *and* the underlying media type.
