It probably is from the perspective of having a easy to read and error free protocol specification, but this is not one of the requirements for an IETF protocol standard. Imho the goal of this effort is to push HTTP/1.1 specifications forward to the level that it can be accepted as an IEFT standard. Not to make a perfect specification. Once that is accomplished work should start on the next version of HTTP to improve both specifications and protocol based on what is learnt from HTTP, WebDAV, CalDAV and other HTTP extensions or applications using HTTP as a meaningful substrate, but that's a separate effort.
