In GWT, JavaScript resources are somehow wrapped in HTML files to work around browser issues with gzip compressed JavaScript:

We should check if this would also work and help for RAP.

We didn't run into any problems in this regard. Moreover, we're planning to discontinue support for very old browser versions.
