"accept-" request headers are handled specially by the 'vary' header response. Since this doesn't apply end-to-end and might be introduced by an intermediate, I don't think that it should be called "Accept-" anything. Roy's suggestion of making this an option to 'Connection' might be reasonable, but I'm suspicious of adding this last-minute feature into a Draft Standard. Is there some way that having compression transfer encodings as opposed to compression content-encodings could be handled outside of the main HTTP draft, and moved forward as a separate Proposed (or even Experimental) standard?
