I *really* hope you meant to say "whose *major* version number...".
Otherwise you're saying an HTTP/1.1 server should send an HTTP/1.0
response to an HTTP/1.0 client, which is how this issue got started
in the first place, and which I don't think you meant.
BTW, as the person who instigated the original flap, let me say I'm
content with Jeff's (et al.) draft-ietf-http-versions-00.txt.
