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...
