If the RFC does not specify the behaviour, then you may choose a
reasonable course of action.

One can argue either way for sending a 400 or 505 response or using
Postel's law and pretend a client will be able to grok a standard
HTTP/1.0 response.

If you encounter other cases where it's unclear what to do, please make
sure to note in your README how you decided.
