Rolling incremental backups & Compression

Afternoon everyone. I'm on Oracle 10.2.0.2 on RHEL3.

I'm exploring the option of using the "rolling forward image copy" method of incremental backups with RMAN, as detailed in section 4.4.3 of of Backup and Recovery Basics guide [1].

I know that the initial backup will be an image copy, and therefore not compressed. My question is: can the subsequent level 1 incremental backups be compressed backupsets?
