Description
Currently, "Allow" is defined as an entity-header, not a response-header. Its definition says
The Allow entity-header field lists the set of methods supported by the resource identified by the Request-URI."
However, Allow seems more applicable to the resource, rather than the entity, and isn't useful in a request.

This really affects P2. P3 is only affected in that "Allow" does not appear in the list of entity headers anymore.
