Misleading Scheme Documentation

Both staticCompressionLevel and dynamicCompressionLevel are documented as:

Specifies the compression level for the compression scheme when static content is being compressed. The levels range from 0 (lowest compression level and lowest CPU usage) to 10 (highest compression level and highest CPU usage). 0 means that compression is disabled. The WWW service must be restarted before any changes to this attribute take effect.

However, this documentation is misleading. The actual ranges for these settings varies based on the scheme provider. For example, users who install Microsoft's IIS Compression scheme providers ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/iis-compression/iis-compression-overview ) have completely different ranges.

Microsoft documents some of this information at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/iis-compression/using-iis-compression .
