I get your point (the RFC doesn't apply to Varnish). It wasn't my intention to
slam Varnish for standards violation, though, sorry if it came across like that.

Cool! That'd make one particular webserver owner's job a bit easier, and I
suspect many others too. :)

Pros:
 - safer
 - principle of least surprise
 - easier management (configure this caching aspect once: in the web app)

Cons
 - ?

I guess I should open an issue about it?
