I think the spec needs to be carefully checked for usage of

"For security reasons nothing SHOULD be done if the header argument
matches one of the following headers case-insensitively:"
I think I understand what the intent is, but maybe it should be
rephrased to:
"For security reasons, a server SHOULD ignore any attempt to modify
any of the headers below (header names being matched
case-insensitively):"
I don't understand this suggestion. Are you sure you understand what the
section is about?
Yes. The problem is the spec saying "...nothing SHOULD be done...". I
think it's better to be explicit what the implementation should do (in
this case, ignore the method call).
