Bah, Content-Type sucks.

I created a new thread on public-webapps at w3.org to further discuss this  
(as well as something else I noticed):

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2011AprJun/1222.html

(I already renamed "custom request headers" to "author request headers". I  
hope that will reduce some of the confusion I and others had with respect  
to Last-Event-ID and Cache-Control. I should probably add a note too at  
some point, once I find an appropriate location.)
