"CRIME works only when both the browser and server support TLS compression or SPDY"

If it would make more sense, then s/protocol/implementation/g or whatever you need to do to make sense of this.

How ever you choose to frame it, the targets are TLS and SPDY.

Huh? SPDY uses TLS. The target is basically "web browsers".

"web browsers" that support TLS compression or SPDY (which uses TLS compression)

It's quite possible to use a browser that supports neither. Indeed I'm using one right now.

Does the SPDY spec require TLS compression? IIRC, TLS is needed. Hence, SPDY+http compress+no TLS compression is workable, no? It's not ideal but would still work...
