I agree with the discussion that the http 1.1 spec is getting a bit large. I would like to see the Transfer Protocol part of HTTP be split out as a seperate standard from the HyperText part. The transfer protocol spec would be about the 'wire' format, requests, responses, persistance, chunking. The HyperText part would be about content negociation, cacheing, http-attributes. The transfer protocol spec would define the headers that are specific to it and say that other headers will also be added by the higher levels. I do beleive in the N layer model of communications protocols.
