I have one quibble. There are some lines that have double negatives
and that are, therefore, hard to interpret. Three examples:
If no-transform, don't add
Content-Encoding, Content-Length,
Content-Range, Content-Type 13.5.2 na MN na 2
Don't use 200 with partial resp. 13.8 na MN MN 1
GET/HEAD: no side effects 13.9 SN na na
I recommend always stating the requirement in the positive sense. So
these lines would read:
If no-transform, add
Content-Encoding, Content-Length,
Content-Range, Content-Type 13.5.2 na MN na 2
Use 200 with partial resp. 13.8 na MN MN 1
GET/HEAD: has side effects 13.9 SN na na
This way the SN/MN negations are clearer, I think.
