Good point.

So let's try to clarify:

(1) Any header starting with "Content-" not understood by the server 
needs to cause a 501.

(2) For the Content-* headers defined in RFC2616, this means:

Content-Encoding: store it with the entity, or drop it
Content-Language: store it with the entity, or drop it
Content-Length: must be checked (that's part of the message transmission 
semantics)
Content-Location: store it with the entity, or drop it
Content-MD5: check the hash code?
Content-Range: implement or reject
Content-Type: store it with the entity, or drop it

?
