SHOULD, not MUST.

They must if they want caches to be aware of the selection process.

No progress has been made in a few months on transfer-encoding due to
lack of developer resources. Help is needed if there is to be any
progress in this area.

There is a mostly working implementation of transfer encoding, but
some subtle problems have been discovered with the processing of
Range requests etc.

As a HTTP proxy Squid MUST NOT touch content-encodings.
content-encodings is a business between the server side entity
negotiation and the user-agent preferences.
