Description
There is some ambiguity in Section13.10 as to how the word 'only' binds here:
In order to prevent denial of service attacks, an invalidation based on the URI in a Location or Content-Location header MUST only be performed if the host part is the same as in the Request-URI.
The following clarification, along with separating the clause explaining the rationale for the rule, is suggested:
An invalidation based on the URI in a Location or Content-Location header MUST NOT be performed if the host part of that URI differs from the host part in the Request-URI. This helps prevent denial of service attacks.
