To expand on this:

I think many implementors will simply use whatever their platform's
equivalent of "request.headers['DPR']" gives them. For many (as in
WSGI/CGI), this will be all field-values joined by a comma. Those
requirements will make such implementations non-conformant--for no
good reason, it seems.
