It would be appreciated if there were a slower HTTP, with more round 
trips, explicitly designed with privacy negotiation in mind.

Importantly, you can't leak data which you do not have. The best way to 
not have that data is to not receive it.

Why does a server need to accept user agents and a bunch of other 
unnecessary stuff if it isn't gonna use it? Doesn't it just make the 
server more liable for no good reason? Make it possible to turn it off! 
Most of it can just be turned off.

In fact, the simplest servers (static hosting) only really need the URL 
and the Host. Everything else is unnecessary liability.
