This feature is important because loading compressed content to the blob store will not work for those users whose browsers cannot decompress the content. So the blob needs to be served either with gzip (or deflate etc) encoding or without depending on the Accept-Encoding header on the request. This is normally handled by the origin server setting the Vary: Accept-Encoding response header and the CDN serving the appropriate version of the blob to the client.
This conversation is relevant http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/pl-PL/windowsazuredata/thread/d4641aa0-1444-4d24-a003-b5645e51ffb3
MS say that they will support it.

We go to third parties who impose IP based authentication. We need more stability in the IP address than the suggestion of not deleting the service. These IP authentications can take many weeks to set up with the larger corporates. The consequences of accidentally deleting the service and losing the IP are too serious.

At PDC 2010 Microsoft announced the Extra Small Instance, which will be priced at $0.05 per compute hour in order to make the process of development, testing and trial easier. This will make it affordable for developers interested in running smaller applications on the platform. A beta of this role will be available before the end of 2010.
Please let us know if this addresses your needs for a more cost effective Azure offering.

Our DBAs use this and it would be inconvenient to have to recode this and not compatible with their skillset.
