Am I getting confused here myself, or are we talking about HTTP/1.1
rather than HTML 1.1 ?

We are in fact talking about HTTP/1.1.  It was a quick brain typo.

One good reason at the moment for not moving to only providing support
for HTTP/1.1 is the lack of support for it in lynx, which many blind
people use as a browser, and lack of support for which by ISPs would
probably be fairly politically unpopular.

Lynx 2.5 and 2.6 appear to be HTTP/1.1 compliant and support the
host feature that we are talking about. (Atleast in the testing we have
done).
