I don't think this makes sense .... my implemented conclusion has been:
1. The protocol level returned in the response should declare the level
of the response.
2. The response protocol level from a server should never be higher
than the request's protocol.
3. The client must interpret the response based on the response protocol
level, not the request protocol level.
I believe there is potential breakage otherwise.
