Content-Encoding: who does what?

There's a potential transition problem brewing concerning
Content-Encoding. The few browsers I have access to (Mosaic 2.6,
Netscape 1.1, 2.0) understand Content-Encoding: x-gzip, but not gzip.
Browsers have to start understanding x-gzip and gzip (and x-compress
and compress) as synonyms PRONTO! Otherwise servers will for a long
time have to be configured to send x-gzip (x-compress), because that's
what most browsers understand.
Can anyone identify browsers that understand gzip and compress?
