I started this thread citing
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-21#section-3.2
so I guess we are talking about 2.0. Also, we talk about existing
behavior so we talk about 1.x as well.

I guess what Nico had in mind is if this subject could be clarified in
2.0 so that we won't have problems we have now in the future.
