s/request/response/

The point was, if one were to exploit the origin server to inject 
a fake T-E, and the C-L is legit, we can't catch it.  Suggesting
(to me) that it's better to insist on strictly conformant responses
from origin servers, which are an entirely different beast than
clients.  But since there are (undoubtedly) bad origin servers out
there, we would likely need to make this a configuration choice, 
not an absolute rule.  After all, they are using Apache to front
end their buggy/vulnerable backend servers out there :)
