It is a hack. That is about as far as understanding goes.

Your observation regarding the HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 specification are right on

You might also want to take look at the discussion in the HTML 4.0
document, but I'll hardly suggest much in the way of satisfaction.

Alas, I can only confirm your relative sanity in trying to deal with this
technology, but lack any constructive suggestions.
