Currently it only contains information about output format, and is not used anywhere. It will be used to check whether current action produces HTML output, and therefore is displaying HTML-based progress info about (re)generating cache makes sense.

It can contain information about allowed extra options, whether to display link to feed (Atom or RSS), etc. in easier and faster way than listing all matching or all non-matching actions at appropriate site.

This is new patch, which didn't exist in v4 (previous version) of
gitweb caching series, and doesn't have equivalent in J.H. patch.

While it is patch preparing infrastructure to be used by progress indicator (generating info), it is IMHO a good idea in itself, and that is why it is not marked as RFC.
