Agree! To the extent that content-length isn't specified. If it is, and it isn't correct, it is an error condition. I have a real philosophical problem with the design of non-deterministic protocols. It is not an unreasonable burden on HTTP servers to require accurate content-length nor do I believe it an unreasonable burden on UA to do the same.
