Thanks. The whole section on 1xx responses and proxies makes more
sense now.

This is something we should be able to make intelligent use of with
only a little cooperation from server vendors (and proxy vendors such
as ourselves).. one application which immediately springs to mind is
compressed HTTP where compression applies to the whole stream, not
just the entity. Much simpler and more efficient than TE.
