Well, OK but the wonderful RFC does not specify what "accept" means for a 
non-proxy server. So, can the absolute URI be rejected if it doesn't refer 
to the actual server? Anyway, this appears to be a problem of an under 
specified spec so I am not suprised it didn't get implemented. Now, the 
question is what does "accept" really mean in this context.
