This is implicit in the current (rev-01) draft, but I think it
could be made explicit:
In section 3.6 (Transfer Codings), after:
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) acts as a
registry for transfer-coding value tokens. Initially, the
registry contains the following tokens: "chunked" (section
3.6.1), "identity" (section 3.6.2), "gzip" (section 3.5),
"compress" (section 3.5), and "deflate" (section 3.5).
Add this paragraph:
The "identity" transfer-coding is used only in the TE
header, and SHOULD NOT be used in the Transfer-Encoding
header.
Also, in section 3.5, there's a minor grammatical error in the
existing analogous statement:
identity
The default (identity) encoding; the use of no
transformation whatsoever. This content-coding is used only
in the Accept-Encoding header, and SHOULD NOT be used in
Content-Encoding header.
should be:
identity
The default (identity) encoding; the use of no
transformation whatsoever. This content-coding is used only
in the Accept-Encoding header, and SHOULD NOT be used in
the Content-Encoding header.
