That's what we are trying to do with HttpHeaders. We also tried to do
it with Request and Response, but it didn't work that well. So let's
not jump back and forth. But for any other new cases that pop up we
should certainly consider this approach.
Btw. just for an inspiration, can you send out just a short list of
examples from Servlet API you are referring to?
