If this input stream is resolved from a URL, wouldn't it be better to handle
this at the transport layer rather than in the parser? One should be able to
determine the compression used from the "Content-Encoding" header. Or is the
intent to be very forgiving of instances where the headers do not adequately
convey the correct information?
