WordPress advertises "Full web standards compliance" as one of its
features <http://wordpress.org/>. But if WordPress has problems with
Google Web Accelerator, it is because WordPress is not in compliance
with the HTTP 1.1 standard
<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.1>.
(In particular, WordPress is non-compliant for allowing GET requests to
delete posts, comments, or pages, to select themes, or to activate
plug-ins.)
Either WordPress should be brought into compliance, or the "Full
standards compliance" bullet point should be removed. Blocking Google
Web Accelerator to get around non-compliance with HTTP 1.1 would make as
much sense as blocking validator.w3.org referrers to get around
non-compliance with XHTML 1.0.
