In my proposal, this point was only intended as an optimization permission
or recomentation. I didn't want to preclude a server which had the
information from bypassing the 100 (Continue) so I would be happy with
any wording which expressed the exception case allowing the omission.

Either:

     o An origin server need not send a 100 (continue) response if it ...
                                                        missing?   ^^
(which I agree feels like awkward wording) or:

     o It is not necessary for an origin server (or proxy) to send a
       100 (Continue) response if it has already received some or all
       of the request body for the corresponding request.
