What do we do with sticky headers? Should each origin server get 1

sticky headers for the 1st request to a new origin server in a

We don't have sticky headers in HTTP/1.1. (I think we should, but that's
another discussion.)
If we did have them, then the rules for multiplexing such requests
over a proxy would have to be specified carefully. In fact,
earlier versions of the hit-metering draft did do something like
this, but people talked me out of using anything sticky in
the hit-metering design.
I believe that the solution is not extremely complex, but it wouldn't
be a total no-brainer, either. Let's worry about this in HTTP/1.2.
