If we're going to make exceptions, it would be more usual to say that 'Content-Encoding' can only occur once, and that if there are multiple encodings, they must appear ordered and comma separated in a single header. In any case, if HTTP/1.1 is going to support multiple content-encodings, this must be resolved, else we'll revert to the 1.0 situation and try again in 1.2. I'll make sure this gets on the issues list.
