I would argue that we do, to some degree, already do this for things
like Content-Encoding. For example, if a website attempts to send
gzip-encoded bodies without a Content-Encoding header, we don't simply
display the compressed body as if it were encoded according to the
indicated type
Actually, we do, unless the indicated type is text/plain.
The one fixup I'm aware of with Content-Encoding is that if the content
type is application/gzip and the Content-Encoding is gzip and the file
extension is .gz we ignore the Content-Encoding.
Both of these are workarounds for a very widespread server
misconfiguration (in particular, the default Apache configuration for
many years had the text/plain problem and the default Apache
configuration on most Linux distributions had the gzip problwm).
