The Content-Encoding header allows any page to be a literal zip-bomb. That's how early versions of Tailwind worked; you'd deliver a 50KB Brotli payload that exploded into 2MB of CSS ( https://v1.tailwindcss.com/docs/controlling-file-size ). So pages potentially being zip-bombs is already a well-accepted part of the Web platform.
