I was surprised to see that the C++ core interprets "grpc-accept-encoding: deflate" like HTTP: it compresses messages using zlib with deflate compression, rather than using raw deflate. Matching HTTP semantics makes sense, of course, but this misnomer has historically confused HTTP implementations too.
This detail didn't seem important enough to warrant inclusion in the main protocol specification, so I've proposed an addition to `docs/compression.md` to document the expected behavior. I'm happy to move the addition around if you'd prefer it elsewhere.
