I've noticed a cumbersome locution spreading through the HTTP/1.1
draft that I would like to cut off. Here's an example:
... and the Host request header (present if the request-URI is not
an absoluteURI) ...
How about if we define a term, "request-host", and use that term instead.
The above phrase would then become
... and the request-host ...
Here are some words:
[Section 1.3, Terminology?]
request-host
The request-host of an HTTP request is the user agent's notion of
the host domain name or IP address of the origin server as provided
in the absoluteURI of a request (if that form is used) or the Host
request header.
