Howto tune HTTP browser connection with Connection and Keep-Alive HTTP headers

I've come across this response today. This is diffident from all other I have seen so far. It uses the timeout and max options for the Keep-Alive header that should influences how the TCP connection should be handled.

 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=10
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Looking at the recent HTTP 1.1 RFC rfc2616 we can see that this options is addressed in more details here:

The original HTTP/1.0 form of persistent connections (the Connection: Keep-Alive and Keep-Alive header) is documented in RFC 2068.

Looking at RFC 2068 we see that it specifies in the paragraph  19.7.1.1 The Keep-Alive Header

The Keep-Alive header itself is optional, and is used only if a parameter is being sent. HTTP/1.1 does not define any parameters.

It doesn't specify anything about max or timeout parameters  With Google help I found this RFC draft Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Keep-Alive Header. In this one we can see that:

The value of the timeout parameter is a single integer in seconds.
The value of the max parameter counts the number of requests since the connection was created.
