"chunked" as non-final transfer-extension

Hi,

  I ran across https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=61960 and
could not find this in draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-12.txt. It seems
to me the specification should say "chunked" as transfer-extension is
only valid if it is the last transfer-coding, otherwise you're likely
dealing with some form of attack (unfortunately many mainstream imple-
mentations use, say, `strstr` to check for "chunked", so they misbe-
have if you do something like `Transfer-Encoding: bogochunked`; that
might also be worth a "It is incorrect to..." note).

regards,
