I don't care, because I don't work with this much. And I don't know 
whether I'd need to bear in mind the protocol which requires the 
order; I'd probably want to access them randomly. But that I send 
out has to follow the protocol.

In other words, the input has an order (the order in which the user-
agent sent the headers), but I'm not necessarily interested in it 
(frequent CGI programmers may have different needs); the output 
also has an order, and *someone* has to provide for that order, and 
I believe it is not good for Perl to do so (for the reasons given before).

Cheers,
