Re: [whatwg/fetch] Investigate usage of "append" for headers (Issue #1850)

mnot left a comment (whatwg/fetch#1850)

Would the effect of this change be to disallow content encodings from being requested on range requests from Fetch? 

If so that's a constraint on how applications use HTTP. Experience shows that would be a significant impediment to deployment, so the tradeoff should be carefully examined: is it worth constraining the protocol's use to promote interoperability with a set of buggy servers? Specifically, how large is that set, and how current is our information about it?
