Our documentation for keep-alive is at 
	http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/beta-1.5/howto/KeepAlive.html

It references the spec mentioned above.  NCSA's implementation of the
feature was completed shortly before that spec was released (and
our beta was release that same week).  Our implementation was based
on an earlier version of the spec, which I can't find now.  I believe
Stan did a read-through of the new specification and found our
implementation to be valid but missing some of the optional headers.

PS. The Spyglass implementation does interoperate with NCSA's and
	I believe (but haven't confirmed) that Netscape's does as well.
