Maybe I'm incredibly dense (I see those heads nodding :-), but I found Sect. 8.28 a bit confusing. What would have helped me is for there to be an explicit statement that particular vary-dimension's correspond exactly to specific HTTP headers, e.g., type Accept charset Accept-Charset language Accept-Language encoding Accept-Encoding user-agent User-Agent version ?? The examples imply the correspondence but there's no explicit statement of correlation. What, exactly, is "version"? Where is the version specified in the URI? How does a caching intermediary handle a vary-dimension of <token>? That is, if you can't specify the dimensions in advance, how can the intermediary figure out what the semantics for such an unspecified dimension are? (If <token> is just meant as a place-holder for future expansion, let's say so.) Dave Kristol
