Cloudfront actually does support gzip encoding if you use Custom Origin, just not with S3.

Technically, CloudFront supports Accept-Encoding/Transfer Encoding, and /not/ compression. If client and server supported ROT13 as an encoding, CloudFront would support that, too. CloudFront is neither compressing nor decompressing anything.
