Right, but does all WWW server offer this feature? We can't force the user
to install a specific server.

I don't see the problem. The online help system should be designed for the
Debian users. If a Windows, MAC, etc user want to use the help systen he
has to install gzip as helper application.
But maybe we would build a compressed file system using gzip and the loop
back device?
