Re: LC28: HTTP Transfer Coding and 1.0

Hi Hugo,

The amendment works for me - I prefer the approach of ignoring the 
value, so I would change:

"Any transfer coding specified for HTTP 1.0 Binding is ignored."

to

"The value of the {http transfer coding} property is ignored when the 
value of the {http version} property is "1.0".

Cheers,

-C.
