First, I mention record but I mean object. Usually I don't use anymore a set for a property mainly for two reasons. The first is that set are limited in the number of members. The second, and more important for me, is that sets doesn't works well with VFI, because you cannot "switch" a member without affecting the others. But last word is yours. >b.2) No opinion now.

We should think about a real scenario. I think that it is better for the moment that it remain as is, and then make a change when/if it is real needed to handle a real situation. Opinion from others reader? >d) I do not master the topic. Could you elaborate ? I know only what I red from RFC. This is what I understood. You can specify in the header what kind of encoding you can handle. This doesn't mean that you cannot receive a body encoded with a method not included in the Accept-Encoding. A second form is to specify the econding with a quality parameter, for example "gzip:1 deflate:0.9". With this you inform the server that you can handle both gzip and deflate but you prefer gzip. If you specify 0 as quality then it mean that you don't accept the encoding. Two particular encoding are "identity" and "*". You will never see this in the answer, only in the Accept-Encoding header. The first mean "no encoding" and the second "all others". So if you write "gzip:1 identity:0.2 *:0" should mean "I prefer gzip over identity, but doesn't accept any other encoding". Even this should be possible: "gzip:1 identity:0 *:0" i.e. "send me only encoded with gzip". This is the theory. Practically I made some test with IIS 5.1 and it seems ignore completly the quality. Actually I made some changes to disable the quality by default and use 0 as default quality for indentity and *. Coding with quality = 0 will not specified in Accept-Encoding if quality is not used.
