The change does not forbid the use of "Allow" in a request. It just makes its semantics undefined for requests. That makes sense, because in practice people are not following the RFC 2616 semantics for that case. This is also a good idea, because it provides an opportunity for another RFC to define an "Allow" mechanism that actually makes sense. There is no way to make "Allow" (in a request or a response) generally useful without a corresponding "Disallow" header, and such an addition is out of scope according to the charter. - Brian
