129k -> 18k with gzip. So no. I guess that could be a solution. Does
Apache magically gzip stuff as a transport-encoding or do you have to
tell it to in some way?

I could certainly add that.

Rather than exposing the utf8 parameter, I would prefer that all
interactions with the API were in utf8, and if Bugzilla was not using
utf8, the API proxy did conversions.

In fact, I would rather just make utf8 being on a pre-requisite for
using the proxy with a particular Bugzilla ;-) How unreasonable would
that be? Are there still significant sites which haven't converted?

I'm returning both, as an object.

OK. I'll stop worrying about that, then.
