I can't tell yet. The consensus opinion in the HTTPbis working group is that sniffing is not in conflict with the HTTPbis RFC. See, for example, the handling of http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/155 and this message from the chair of the working group: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2009JulSep/0473.html I think we can safely close http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/28 at this point.
