I was putting together a reply to Koen Holtman's note on Accept-*
header structure, and went to double check
draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-03.txt
to see what part of Accept: was left in 1.0 vs. relegated to 1.1, and
lo, while it says:
> HTTP uses Internet Media Types [13] (formerly referred to as MIME
> Content-Types [5]) in order to provide open and extensible data
> typing and type negotiation.
but
> Request-Header = Authorization ; Section 8.2
> | From ; Section 8.8
> | If-Modified-Since ; Section 8.9
> | Referer ; Section 8.14
> | User-Agent ; Section 8.16
> Request-Header field names can be extended only via a change in the

I assume this is an oversight, certainly it wasn't intentional to make
"Accept:" illegal in HTTP/1.0.
