I would argue we should open a new issue for this one, i5 (<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.1/rfc2616bis/issues/#i5>) was about the inconsistency between SHOULD (14.38) and MUST (14.45). We fixed that IMHO correctly (using consistently the stronger requirement). So if we want to relax the MUST level requirement, that should be treated separately... BR, Julian
