Confused about persistent connection for old clients

Dear All,
Sorry if this is a FAQ.
I am a bit confused about persistent connection establishment with
HTTP/1.0 clients.
Section 8.1.3 says:
"A proxy server MUST NOT establish a persistent connection with an
HTTP/1.0 client".
Excerpt from section 19.7.1:
"An HTTP/1.1 server may also establish persistent connections with
HTTP/1.0 clients upon receipt of a Keep-Alive connection token."
Why is there difference in handling persistent connections for proxy
servers and for HTTP/1.1 servers?
Thanks in advance,
Bertold
