I've found the stable link to CGI 1.1 spec at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-robinson-www-interface-00
Links to spec from the issue looks like broken.

Please, can you describe why we need to convert, say, HTTP_USER_AGENT to user-agent?

I see in the spec:
      Environment variables with names beginning with "HTTP_" contain
      header data read from the client, if the protocol used was HTTP.
      The HTTP header name is converted to upper case, has all
      occurrences of "-" replaced with "_" and has "HTTP_" prepended to
      give the environment variable name.

Why we need the reverse varname translation?
