+    ## This header is to pass page content through IE8 XSS Filter.
+    ## Use-case: 
+    ##  (1) gazeta.ru has POST form with destination http://www.livejournal.com/preview/entry.bml
+    ##  (2) browser sends form data with HTML formatting to /preview
+    ##  (3) LJ.com server sends most of the form input back to browser with unescaped HTML
+    ##  (4) IE8 thinks that LJ.com has XSS vulnerability and rejects to display the page
