no-vary: updating CACHING #3285

Description

@reschke

I found the first part of
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-no-vary-search-03.html#name-caching
a bit hard to understand with respect to what is replaced by what.

See (text version):

  1. Caching

If a cache [HTTP-CACHING] implements this specification, the
presented target URI requirement in Section 4 of [HTTP-CACHING] is
replaced with:

  • one of the following:

    • the presented target URI (Section 7.1 of [HTTP]) and that of
      the stored response match, or

    • the presented target URI and that of the stored response are
      equivalent modulo search variance (Section 6), given the
      variance obtained (Section 5.2) from the stored response.

Proposal: make both list items quotes; simplify the replacement text so
that it does not require more nesting, and do not lose the ", and" at
the end.
