According to the RFC, the server is allowed to send back any encoding it likes when no Accept-Encoding header is supplied, but all the examples I can find of urllib2.urlopen usage assume they're getting plain text back.  I think it would be better to inject an Accept-Encoding header when none is explicitly supplied so that nobody else trips over this issue.
