Indeed, I don't think we are in a good position to change normative
definitions from HTTP (e.g.,
datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#section-11.1 and
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9110#section-11.4) but it might
not be unreasonable to recommend/suggest certain client behavior aimed at
improved interoperability given the realities of some commonly deployed
server code.
