Ok...so it appears we actually do want intermediaries to transform [1]...and the current spec text is incorrect. If so, we need to add some inescapably obvious editorial text into the spec stating that "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" is illegal and intermediaries MUST convert (in both directions) along with guidance of how to do it (e.g. presence/absence of Content-Length, 0-chunk <--> END_STREAM, etc). Currently, there are only 2 references to the string "Transfer-Encoding" and one of them is just an itemization of headers that "SHOULD" be removed, as part of a blurb about removing connection specific headers.
