Why not propose a > standard to fit those needs? Yes, I actually believe that. You can't codify/systematize the whole world, and in fact attempting to do so leads to fragile, stale societies. Let the applications which use HTTP decide how best to coordinate additional headers in a way that is best suited to each one of them. Or, you could ask yourself why none of the above applications (and in fact, I know of no applications which) send a second message asking for more headers, when they could easily do so today without an additional standard.
