It is a circular argument to say that HTTP non-compliance is not a
problem because the current protocol forbids HTTP compliance.


I'm saying that the protocol should not be allowed
to forbid HTTP compliance.

Furthermore, I've provided many examples where it is impossible
for a server to actually respect any such compliance ban.

Finally I've also provided many examples where compliance
would also be a benefit (for authentication etc.)
