Good point.  Hm.  That means that potentially there are different
semantics for matching against non-overview headers than matching against
overview headers.  That would be bad; maybe we need to require a
canonicalization of the headers be applied before the match is attempted?

That would actually make the INN behavior make a lot more sense.
