Right. But I still expect clients to handle HTTP/0.9 responses, even if
not required by any specifications old or new, but that does not need to
be covered here.

However, I would use slightly different wording for the server
requirements. What you proposed kind of implies that servers need to
understand the HTTP/1.0 specifications as well which is not the case.
The HTTP/1.1 specifications do contain all the needed requirements for
how a HTTP/1.1 server should respond to HTTP/1.0 requests. No need to
mention HTTP/1.0 as if it was a different format from HTTP/1.1. And the
same is also true for HTTP/1.1 clients receiving an HTTP/1.0 response.

Sorry, no explicit wording suggestion at this time. Too late in the
night.
