  This has pretty serious implementation problems; it may be that the
  POST has no body, and any data pending in TCP is actually another
  request.

  Most of the objections raised here to all this have been to the
  requirement that the 100 response be sent, not that the client wait
  for it before sending the body - note that sending the 100 response
  has been a requirement for some time.
