I am really afraid that you opened up a whole can of worms with this idea, considering that even a simple static HTML page can contain lots of different headers like Date:, Expires:, Content-Type:, Connection: and so on. I'm not that happy about getting things like "building a Date: Header with time zone and everything" in the kernel. And if you use files with pre-tacked headers, you lose these informations which are crucial to the whole proxy-caching process on the Net.
I think, khttpd is a path along which (sooner or later) lies madness and an apache in kernel space.
Kind regards Henning
