  In principle, I would have supported the less restrictive rule that
  any header field can be sent in the trailer unless it is
  specifically required to be in the header, but I think it is very
  late in the game to be changing the rules on the client developers
  now.

  There have been some good arguments for why Last-Modified-Date and
  perhaps Vary could be generated more accurately if they were allowed
  in the trailer, and I think that we should consider them and perhaps
  others.  I don't object to either of these (in our implementation we
  can always send them in the header).

  I think that objections either to these or others from client
  developers (including proxies as clients) should be given extra
  weight.
