I think it is just an MS extension. So it's not required. But it also should
not cause any harm if you add it.

I have seen it the first time in the webdav module in apache.

Yes, I agree entirely with you. Especially since MS was involved in the
webdav standardization process... But unfortunately most of the current webdav
clients are MS products and these programs expect this additional header. If
you can reduce useless requests to the server by adding this line, don't you
think it would be a good thing?
