I'm sorry, I was just completely confused by your message. It was rude of me to forward it to the list, though, and I apologize. I don't think our procedure is 'make random changes to get things out the door'. I think our procedure is 'make things solid if we can; if they're not solid, leave them out of 1.1 and revert to 1.0'. So, chunked isn't in 1.0. If we put it in 1.1, it will be with agreed-upon specification. Chunked is handy for persistent connections, because it lets you deal with content where you don't know the length. If we really have trouble specifying chunked agreeably, we could take it out, and leave persistent connections restricted to those cases where either the client accepts multipart and the server wants to send it, or else the length is known.
