 Preliminary analysis of the parent ticket suggests that most of the
 problematic requests are coming from an aggressively non-tor sources.  One
 reasonable thing we could do to disfavor them is to give a 503 to
 directory requests that don't request compression, either with a ".z"
 suffix or an Accept-Encoding list.
