staticCompressionIgnoreHitFrequency does not work at a web-site level

I am trying to delegate staticCompressionIgnoreHitFrequency attribute to a web-site level, so my users would be able to manage this setting independently.

I changed my applicationHost.config as follows:

1. In the <configSections> section in the system.webServer group, I configured settings for httpCompression element as follows:

<section name="httpCompression" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />

2. Then I moved the whole httpCompression section from <system.webServer> into <location path="" overrideMode="Allow"> section.

3. Then I configured httpCompression attributes:

<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files" staticCompressionIgnoreHitFrequency="False" lockAllAttributesExcept="staticCompressionIgnoreHitFrequency">

In a web.config file at a test web-site I added the following after the <system.webServer> element:

<httpCompression staticCompressionIgnoreHitFrequency="True" />

I restarted both AppPool and the web-site.

Still, whenever I request HTML-files from the web-site, GZIP-compression works for frequently accessed files only.
