"ACK required" => "no reply required"

A slight erratum:

Given that the existing behavior always requires a reply, any marker 
aimed at allowing back-channels to close should be cast as boolean "back 
channel may be closed", defaulting to "false".  This is a bit 
counter-intuitive by itself, but it allows existing proxies that don't 
know anything to ignore the new flag.  The back-channel only closes if 
the sender asked for it and the receiver knows how to recognize this.
