I think we/you got it now! :-)
I did this in the httpd.conf:
Commented out this in the genaral sections
# AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz
Made the directory look like this:
<Directory "C:/Engineering/Projects/XMLTV/XMLTVTestsite">
Options Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddEncoding x-gzip .gz
AddType application/xml .xml.gz
AddType text/xml .xml
</Directory>
And now the headers become this when I access a xml.gz link:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:55:40 GMT

Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 5531
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Encoding: gzip
And FireFox displaye the *contents* of the gz file rather than offer
to save it!
BINGO!
