Just to be clear, this is not an interop issue.  This is a matter of
drawing the line between what is sane and what is not.  For
pathological cases (e.g., excessive redirects) there isn't a sane
interop behavior, only a sane fallback behavior.  +1 for
_recommending_ a maximum number of redirects in the spec so
implementors have some idea of what is sane.  I think any more than 10
is pathological.
