I think it would make sense to carefully police additions to HTTP
headers beyond User-Agent. (Also removals, I guess, from the site
compat perspective.) Proposals to add stuff pop up from time to time
and they tend to flop with the request left bloated. (Notable
exception: Accept-Encoding: gzip. DNT: 1 seems to be off to a good
start, too, but it's too early to tell what happens to it on the long
term.)

One failure that added bloat that I'm partially guilty for is the
Accept header. Wouldn't you say good riddance to Accept if we could as
far as site compat goes?
