Given that it's really hard for a client to predict the future, as to 
whether a pipelined request will be processed or not, or whether a 
previous resource will return Connection: close or not, and even to tell 
whether a request will be truly without side-effects, doesn't this mean 
it's just basically dangerous to pipeline full stop?

Do we need a way for a server to communicate which requests may be made 
with impunity multiple times, and which should only be made once?  e.g. 
safe to retry or not.  then only pipeline requests that are safe to 
retry according to the server (rather than according to some assumption 
or heuristic at the client, as such things are inevitably wrong on 
occasion).
