Description:
------------
I think there would be some benefit in separating Client information 
(ie. HTTP Request Information, User-Agent, User Auth Information) from 
the $_SERVER superglobal and creating a new superglobal called 
$_CLIENT. Nothing major, but I think it makes logical sense.

(btw, PHP Version is irrelevent, but it wouldn't let me select that 
option) :P

The reason that it is in the $_SERVER array is because all of these are 
actually set by the web server.  PHP has nothing to do with these.  
Trying to decypher which variables the server gives us were triggered 
by the client and which ones weren't would be a mess.
