Link:  http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/5

Component: p2-semantics

In the description of the Server header [section 14.38], the Via field is described as a SHOULD:

If the response is being forwarded through a proxy, the proxy application MUST NOT modify the Server response-header. Instead, it SHOULD include a Via field (as described in section 14.45).

It should be a MUST:

If the response is being forwarded through a proxy, the proxy application MUST NOT modify the Server response-header. Instead, it MUST include a Via field (as described in section 14.45).

The requirement is stated correctly in the description of the Via header, [section 14.45].
