My reading of Björns email was that they did not drop it for HEAD, OPTIONS and EXAMPLE did not drop the entity body. In my testing IE, Firefox and Opera all dropped the entity body of GET requests. So if for no other reason, interoperability seems like a good argument for stating that this should be done. / Jonas
