Furthermore, that they're not available in most implementations. Probably it would be easier to remind that just like chunks themselves, they're connection-specific, since any intermediary is allowed to rechunk differently. It is also obvious that a compressing gateway will rechunk for example. But I agree with Roy that it would be too bad to get rid of something that most implementations can already parse (even if they don't use them) and will continue to parse whatever we write in the spec, especially if there is some potential for using them in the future.
