Won't help too much, until gzip's output is piped back too, so a replacement for COPY .. TO STDOUT COMPRESSED would be COPY ... TO '| /bin/gzip |' STDOUT, to enable clients to receive the reduced stuff.

Forgot to mention:
COPY COMPRESSED was also meant to introduce a portable format that's efficient for both text and binary data. Relying on some external XYZzip version seems not too portable to me.
