Yes.

I believe we're giving up too early.

HTTP/1.1 already requires servers to handle chunked encoding in requests:

   "All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive and decode the 
"chunked" transfer-coding, and MUST ignore chunk-extension extensions 
they do not understand." (RFC 2616, 3.6)

So gatewaying to 1.1 shouldn't be a problem at all, as no buffering is 
needed.

If gatewaying to 1.0 servers is the problem than we seriously should 
consider giving up on *that* goal. Speaking of which - why *exactly* is 
gatewaying to 1.0 a problem?
