Yeah, that's a good point. I can muster some sympathy for someone on a slow machine on an unreliable dialup I guess.

On the .js, .css issue in openacs now we don't really ns_return any .js or .css so it's sort of a nonissue (although I can see doing dynamic css at least). I am not sure if the .js and .css problem is addressed by the IE padding (I think it is, certainly the printing problems are).

Same thing and WWW-Authenticate, most openacs sites don't really use it (and for those that do I expect it is during devlopement and most of the people looking have modern browsers which just do the right thing).

Maybe someone will address those issues, but so far they don't really seem to have been a problem (and rubylane for example gets a lot of traffic and I would think it probably sees more old browsers than most sites and Jim Wilcoxson has said they don't have problems with the gzip encoding).
