Section 12.3 says extra documentation should be compressed if it is small.
However, small is not defined. It would be useful if it was; otherwise, there
is no real incentive to compress documentation, as one person's "too large" is
another person's small.
Also, the text says compressed with "gzip -9, unless it is small." Does that
mean I can compress with gzip -1 if it's small, or bzip, or zip?

Hi,
The determination of what constitutes small is left tothe
judgement of the maintainer, and may depend on the size of the
package, target audience, and other context. Additionally, it is
fully expected that this shall shift with disk space cost and common
usage, and processor speeds, etc, as the trade offs shift.
