Proposed minor spec changes, for comment.

Glad to hear about SNI being in the radar. It's a must for virtual hosting.

Any thoughts about SNI interaction with the current "host in request URL is
like Host header" in the spec? Since SNI does the virtual hosting part (and
better) it would only be useful for proxying other hosts AFAICT.

Is proxying allowed currently in any server? Is it even desirable in the
protocol? Or is it just an idea that ossified in the spec without real
world use? (Genuine questions! I don't see the use but in sure it's been
discussed and I'm just late to the party.)

Most servers (all I've tried, circumlunar.space included) fail to handle
host-less requests (out of spec) and deny proxying other hosts.

And I'm pretty sure clients are adapting to this behavior. I'm afraid this
will end up being the de facto standard even with SNI making it obsolete.

Cheers,
