My recollection is that IE has issues with gzipped

Googling shows that some people say other browsers also don't cache it

Testing this to see if it's actually true would be wise. ;)
We already gzip the JS/CSS output that comes from MediaWiki itself; just
the on-disk files are by default served uncompressed.
In theory we can stick in mod_gzip or equivalent per previous
discussions, it just hasn't been gotten to yet.
