Nope, this is zip only. Using gzip would mean producing a tar.gz.

Ah, I understand... the misunderstanding ;-) This serializer is not 
about compressing the output, but about aggregating *several sources in 
an archive*. The compression stuff is only an added benefit of the zip 
format.

There was a discussion back in July about sending gzipped html, but this 
lead to the conclusion that this is the responsibility of the container 
(httpd or Tomcat). See

more info.
