If it must be maintained anywhere, it should be in the client,
according to the basic principle of "accept what you can, generate
carefully."

Python.org's HTTP/0.9 responses appear to be in response to HTTP/0.9
requests only.  A request claiming to be HTTP 1.0, but without a Host:
header, gets a redirect to the same page.

I'm still in favor of removing HTTP 0.9 support entirely.
