Ack. This is similar to the special case we have in P1 with respect to handling multiple Set-Cookie header fields (<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-13.html#rfc.section.3.2.p.7>). So we probably should mention it, but adding a requirement might break existing conforming implementations, so I'd prefer not to. Best regards, Julian
