      Removed CMIS-* headers as input

      The spec should note that, whenever extension headers are used (in contrast to query parameters), the response needs to include a "Vary" header, so that proxies will not serve the wrong response.

      (Varying the response for a GET based on request headers simply is a form of content negotation, and the implications for intermediaries need to be properly discussed).
