Section 6.4.1 says:
All 1xx (Informational), 204 (No Content), and 304 (Not Modified) responses do not include content. All other responses do include content, although that content might be of zero length.
It should say:
All 1xx (Informational), 204 (No Content), 205 (Reset Content), and 304 (Not Modified) responses do not include content. All other responses do include content, although that content might be of zero length.
Notes:
Per section 15.3.6 (205 No Content), it says that servers MUST NOT generate a response. Section 6.4.1 says that "All 1xx, 204, and 304 response don't include content and others do." even though 205 response mustn't generate content.
