Yeah, but I'm not so sure the helper should magically add the gz extension. Perhaps it could be an option to script/CSS or a helper level switch that can be...

My issue is with criteria C. I don't think the helper should be inspecting the request and making its own decisions. Instead I would much rather have the following ```...
