I've added the agreed upon changes to setHeader and containsHeader to
the JIRA. What remains is the matter addressed by this text:

Do we specifically need to account for the case of collision between a
header set by the app and one that is set by the container? If so, we
must decide who wins, the container or the app. I judge the app should
win. If so, the text could be rewritten as:
Containers retain the right to add or modify headers before the
response is committed. If a header is explicitly set by the
application, containers must not change the header set in this way.
I don't see the need for a statement about what sorts of headers the
container generally needs to add.
Thoughts?
