Is there *any* known way what a server can do to have clients reduce the
number of requests, if the clients are not "friendly", but instead
either coded in a dumb way, or have been specifically designed to be
abusive?
I don't think so. But an attempt was made anyway, and it introduced way more
trouble
than it ever solved. I suggest ripping it out, or at least provide a way for
clients to
disable it. (and I suggest the default being "handling of KoD disabled")
