Without knowing much about the specific of HTTP, is it forsee-able
that there might be an HTTP server library in the future?
eg: It might be useful for someone developing a streaming media
    server.

If so, does that effect the following:

> Proposal for HTTP/1.1 Libary Package
...
> The package shall create and maintain a Java library 
> implementing the client
> side of the HTTP/1.1 protocol, as defined in RFC 2616 and RFC 2617.
...
> It would be moved to commons under the http subdirectory.

...

In so much as my non-voting opinion counts, I would like to see EITHER:
  * An exansion of the package to allow for potential future addition
    of http server code.
  * A move to explicitly making these names/categories http-client
