I think it's pretty unlikely anyone is going to figure out that they can save bytes on the wire by adding a space to their header value.  We decided to use the real world to guide the contents of the table.  In other cases where we felt the table was encouraging bad practice, we dropped the header from the table.  But if this one is "too important" to drop, the it's probably "too important" to change from common to canonical usage for the sake of consistency or encouraging better practice.
