We do have to say something normatively about it, because otherwise different
UAs will have different sets of extensions supported, which would be an
interoperability nightmare.

The spec isn't contradicting itself; the extensions sent from the UA must
include 'deflate-stream', but the extensions the server returns might not
include it, hence the attribute will either be the empty string or the
'deflate-stream' string.
