Today, if you try to use the CompressionStream or DecompressionStream APIs within edge runtime, you get the following error:

Error: A Node.js API is used (CompressionStream) which is not supported in the Edge Runtime.

Edge Runtime treats the CompressionStream API as if it is an unsupported Node.js API
But CompressionStream is both a web standard API and available in Node.js (as of v17)
CompressionStream is supported across runtimes (workerd, deno, etc.) and is part of the proposed common minimum API.

CompressionStream is not listed here in the Edge Runtime API docs.

Is this intentional? Or maybe just accidental gating of something that in practice could actually work if ungated?

Given that Edge Runtime supports the Web Streams API, it seems logical that the Compression Streams API would be supported?
