Content-Length should not be represented as a String as it doesn’t have String semantics. It has the semantic of a single number.

Content-Type should not be represented as a String as it doesn’t have String semantics. It has the semantic of a MIME type.

etc.

My comment was about double standards. If we represent headers as String, method and other stuff can be strings too. As mentioned I’d actually prefer specific types for known headers (not just for typing but also for performance, necessary in practice or not :-) ).
