Would be interesting to know what scenario this refers to:

   Warning to origin server implementors: it does not suffice to send

      Vary: If-None-Match, A-IM

   in status-226 responses.  We have discovered at least one scenario
   where this does not prevent a proxy cache that does not implement IM
   and A-IM from incorrectly "validating" a cached 226 response.


A guess is that this is related to their idea that using Expires is not
a good method for telling HTTP/1.0 caches that this response is
incompatible with HTTP/1.0 cache rules even when HTTP/1.1 clearly states
that using Expires is the preferred method for indicating this to any
HTTP/1.0 implementations along the response path.

Any RFC3229 Delta Encoding in HTTP authors around on this list that care
to comment?

Henrik
