In principle, I would have supported the less restrictive rule that
any header field can be sent in the trailer unless it is
specifically required to be in the header, but I think it is very
late in the game to be changing the rules on the client developers
now.
There have been some good arguments for why Last-Modified-Date and
perhaps Vary could be generated more accurately if they were allowed
in the trailer, and I think that we should consider them and perhaps
others. I don't object to either of these (in our implementation we
can always send them in the header).
I think that objections either to these or others from client
developers (including proxies as clients) should be given extra
weight.
