Here is new text for the Content-Location section. The change-bars
are computer-generated. These changes reflect the removal of spoofing
mechanisms from the spec, and also fix some terminology. To Jim

10.16 Content-Location
The Content-Location entity-header field is used to define the
location of the specific resource associated with the entity enclosed
in the message. A server SHOULD provide a Content-Location if, when
| including an entity in response to a GET request on a varying
| resource, the entity corresponds to a specific location which can be
accessed via the Content-Location URI. A server SHOULD provide a
Content-Location with any 200 (OK) response which was internally (not
visible to the client) redirected to a resource other than the one
identified by the request and for which correct interpretation of
that resource may require knowledge of its actual
| location. [##sentence deleted here##]
Content-Location = "Content-Location" ":" absoluteURI
If no Content-Base header field is present, the value of Content-
Location also defines the base URL for the entity (see Section 10.9).
| Under this specification, the response to a request on one URI can
| never create or update information cached for another URI. For
| security reasons, when storing the response in cache memory, caches
| MUST use the resource URI indicated by the request, and MUST NOT use
| the URI in the Content-Location header field.
| XXX The paragraph below needs to be reviewed: there may not be
| consensus about including it.
| If cache memory contains an existing entry for the resource indicated
| by the Content-Location header, and if this indicated resource is
| located on the same origin server and is not a varying resource, the
| cache SHOULD compare any cache validators in the current response
| with the cache validators of the entry. If the validators do not
| match, and if the age of the response is less than the age of the
| entry, then the cache SHOULD remove or make stale the entry.
