Re: Proxies (includes call for adopting new work item, call for input)

I think at least the SPDY proxy is not a split UA as it is possible to 
use a different proxy here. It is possible to downgrade to an HTTP/1.1 
proxy or configure a SPDY proxy of a different vendor into Chrome.

There are some general proxies which do some rendering in the proxy. Are 
those then split UA?
