In Ant's jar task, compress defaults to true. [1] In the current version of 
build.xml for XOM, compress="no". For most users of XOM, it seems trivial to 
rebuild with compression on, if you want it that way, so I am not sure this is a 
huge issue, unless I am mistaking the XOM audience. I am curious, though, for my 
own edification, to know why compression was consciously turned off.
