COMMENT 5 (almost a DISCUSS):

In Section 4.1.2: Suppose you have an intermediary that decodes the chunked encoding of an inbound message and generates a new message with known length (Content-Length present). It seems like you need to specify what happens to trailer fields in this case. The answer seems to be that they're just appended to the header, but AFAICT, that's not specified in the text.

From [2580]:

(design) Strengthen the requirements on MUST NOT send certain fields in a chunked trailer and define how a recipient is expected to process received trailer fields; Lower expectations that the fields will be processed by all recipients; addresses #551
