I would even call them harmful, not only because they take up valuable space, but also because an attentive reader might wonder why the same statements aren't made for other methods as well. That being said, there are people who seem to like repeating stuff all over the place, so it seems to be a good thing nevertheless to link these kinds of changes to an issue entry that explains the reason behind that change. (<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.1/rfc2616bis/draft-lafon-rfc2616bis-latest.html#rfc.issue.duplicated-text-wrt-msg-xmission-reqs> in the latest edit) Best regards, Julian
