chunking and HTTP/1.0

Nope that's not a typo.  It's too bad we didn't think of this before... 
but if a 1.0 client issued a request with an "Accept-Encoding: chunked" it
would be nice if we could respond with a chunked response.  This thought
came up while I was perusing the squid-dev list.  They were trying to
propose some method of safely knowing a transfer completed under 1.0 ... 
(they're not quite ready for 1.1 yet).

Of course doing that violates #3.6 in rfc2068...
