I suggset:
Vary = "Vary" ":" 1#varying
varying = field-name *( ";" parameter )

field-name is the name of an HTTP header.

parameter provides more information on how the resource depends on the
specified header. Example of intended parameter use (N.B. I'm not actaully
suggesting this)
Vary: Accept; type="image/gif"; type="image/jpg"
