Actually, there is a more serious problem with Roy's rewrite of 5.1 and 5.2 section in the current document (04a) that I missed when vetting his changes (and mostly improvements). The requirement that all servers check that the host part is supplied one way or the other only is required to servers supporting multiple hosts in the current text. This requirement should be stronger; that all servers check and generate errors if host information is not present one way or the other. Otherwise we won't necessarily get the desired effect of detecting buggy 1.1 clients until 1.1 servers are deployed, likely much after when clients are shipped. This would result in the scenario of none of the host requirements being effective to solve the problem they were intended to solve. So Bullet #3 in 5.2 should be pulled out and put at the end of the first paragraph of section 5.2. I think this fixes your problem as well. - Jim
