* how the end user of a browser without compression support will
know in advance if the file is compressed or not? From the file
extension? It is not always present.
I expect authors would indicate this in the link text. So:
=
article.gmi my article
=
article.gmi.gz my article (compressed version)

As an user, my personal opinion is that it is not great UX.
