It should be apparent by now that the dominant opinion is that compression in 
TLS is not worth the risk and not worth the time to attempt to deal with here. 
Whether or not a generic compression algorithm could theoretically be made safe 
is irrelevant at this point. It's a known-dangerous attack surface that we 
don't want the risk of.
