Hi Francisco,

The using-http draft hasn't yet been updated to refer to the unified query and response drafts, but in section 9 there is some text to this end.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-designteam-weirds-using-http-01#section-9

I think that the rdapConformance data structure should achieve this.  The only meta-data in headers is the response code, and the level attribute of the mime-type; the level information should be replicated in the rdapConformance information.  I agree with your reasoning here, so if I've missed something that is only stored in the HTTP headers, please let me know!

I will respond to some of Linlin's comments separately.
