Yeah. More like I wish implementors would follow standard.

Pipelining support is optional. It's up to the client to back off if its attempts fail.

  8.1.2.2
  Clients MUST also be prepared to resend their requests if
   the server closes the connection before sending all of the
   corresponding responses.

> HTTP/1.1 conforming servers are required to support pipelining. This does not mean that servers are required to pipeline responses, but that they are required to not fail if a client chooses to pipeline requests.

8.1.2.2 that you quoted [RFC2616] continues:

> A server MUST send its responses to those requests in the same order that the requests were received.
