Content List Compression, Regex Patterns/Matching

Version: BIG-IP 10.2.0 Build 1707.0 Final
Q:
Can anyone confirm that, in HTTP Profiles with Content List Compression, compression for content type "text/" ONLY matches "text/" and not partial matches, (e.g. "text/css", "text/javascript", etc...) if no regular expressions (regex) patterns are specified?

b)

From this, it seems reasonable to assume that the defaults of:

application/(xml|x-javascript)
only match exactly that, and not text/**.
