Define new HTTP response headers for this spec. 

These are based on Intercooler, though some were ommitted to be defined in seperate documents.

And others I decided against. Particularly X-IC-Open was ommitted so as not to allow ads

3. Process the HTTP response headers as specified in [HTTP response headers](https://tildegit.org/alcinnz/PostJS/src/branch/master/drafts/hyperlinks-advanced-targets.md#http-response-headers) and other specifications.

6. Update the style for the HTML to resemble what it would've been if these new elements were in there to begin with.
7. Reload any elements loaded from paths conflicting (to keep the page equally up to date). Upon response these are handled per these steps as if it had a replace target.
For step 7, two paths conflict if one is a directory that contains the other.

Saves the current state and URL of the page to the history stack. and sets the current URL to the specified value.
### X-HTML-Remove
Specifies a floating point number of seconds after which the target element should be removed from the page.
## TODO
* Handle forms.
