you are right Adam,  it is a should ...
but it is in some way more that a should if we consider
the following statement in the charter:

  The Working Group will work to standardize a
   generic solution that can work efficiently in as many of the deployed
   environments as possible and in particular in all the elements of the
   web infrastructure (e.g. web browser, generic HTTP client, HTTP server
   and HTTP-aware intermediaries like proxies, load balancers, caches,
   etc.) and it is not specific for just one.


in any case at moment we do not have any requirement about it;

do people think it would be better have a specific one
in the requirement draft?
