IIRC, browsers have found it impossible to implement Content-Location as 
setting the base URI for a document without breaking significant content 
on the Web. So long as what HTTP defines is implementable in a manner that 
is compatible with legacy content, the issue would be resolved, I think. 
IMHO it is not critical whether this is done by making the header have no 
effect, have some other effect, or removing the header altogether (though 
the former seems pointless).
