Is the spec's explanation of the implications here even sufficient? In
addition to the request getting potentially rejected, might it also lead to
an actual request smuggling attack if the server *doesn't* reject the
request but, instead, interprets it differently?
Given the security risk, the current text doesn't seem strong enough to me.
