Does the gzip scheme change to deflation of fixed incompatibility?

Question

Internet explorer 6 VS1 does not support correct gzip compression. However, he understands deflation. Is changing the name of the schema in applicationhost.config from gzip to deflate enough to fix this problem? Are there any disadvantages to using deflate instead of gzip?

 <!-- c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationhost.config --> <httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files"> <!-- changed name="gzip" to name="deflate" --> <scheme name="deflate" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" /> <dynamicTypes> [...] </dynamicTypes> <staticTypes> [...] </staticTypes> </httpCompression>

At least not when using dynamic compression on iis.
