I take it that a revised patch is not forthcoming, then. :-/
Let's wrap up this topic with this, then, which adds a commit message
and fixes the flush/version-1 ordering issue.

Subject: smart-http: document flush after "# service" line
The http-protocol.txt spec fails to mention that a flush
packet comes in the smart server response after sending any
the "service" header.
Technically the client code is actually ready to receive an
arbitrary number of headers here, but since we haven't
introduced any other headers in the past decade (and the
client would just throw them away), let's not mention it in
the spec.
This fixes both BNF and the example. While we're fixing the
latter, let's also add the missing flush after the ref list.
