Okay, based on the "allow" and "accept" bit, I will clear the discuss (but keep the comment.) I do think some explicit guidance on when it's reasonable to send or use the header would be useful. Right now it's left for the reader to infer. > >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> COMMENT: >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> -- section 3, 5th paragraph: >> For the two SHOULDs and one SHOULD NOT in this paragraph, can you >> suggest >> some reasons an implementation of this spec might choose something >> different? > > This goes back to the discussion about whether we are changing > HTTP/1.1, or whether this is an optional extension (which it is; I > don't believe we have consensus to make a change here that would make > existing HTTP/1.1 servers non-compliant).

Are you proposing to make that change now, or at the point of merging into RFC7231bis Thanks! Ben.
