dotnet web services enhancements : Compression and WSE3

Are the WSE3 team considering adding compression to WSE?

There is one attempt at adding compression here:
http://weblogs.shockbyte.com.ar/rodolfof/archive/2006/08/03/8362.aspx?Pending=true
but unfortunately it doesn't work with username over certificate, or at
least I can't get it to work.

Compression would be very useful over lower bandwidth links. And note that
Http compression isn't useful when you have encrypted data since encrypted
data is generally not compressible. I need compression of the serialized
xml payload before encryption.

Hi Phil,

No, the WSE 3.0 team will not add any feature to the product. All the
efforts are now on the development of WCF.
I personally moved the Rodolfo's code to WCF,

That's strange, did you configure the compression assertion to run before
the security assertion ?. I think the compression assertion does not work if
it runs after the security assertion.

Pablo,

I'll give it another try. Can I email you direct if I can't get it to work?
