You could use "not supported" if you find that better.

What do you mean? Packets have nothing to do with headers, there is nothing about this in paragraph above. Maybe you meant middle-boxes?

Daniel Stenberg already commented on this [1]. The term "middle-boxes", as used in the document, lumps everything in the middle together even if the "hosts" operate at different layers. As the proposal uses a "MUST" in the third paragraph of Section 2.1, the compliance is dependent upon "hosts" which are generally not part of HTTP infrastructure.

I'll let you know as soon new version of the draft will be available (maybe that will be at the end of Last Call).

You can ask the sponsoring Area Director if you need guidance. It is assumed that you will have done some research first before asking for help. That includes learning how the IETF process works.

If people argue for a change, that doesn't mean that the author of a draft must make the change. The author should keep in mind that the strong discontent in such a case can hamper the publication of the draft.

It is also good to take into account whether you want the draft published as a RFC or whether you would like widespread implementation of the proposal. The latter requires that you convince implementors about the merits of the proposal. Obviously, they would not be convinced if their comments are ignored.
