Subject: Issue: END_TO_END - Proposed wording
In section 1, add a third bullet to the end of the section:
o The ultimate recipient of the extension declaration which
can be the origin server, the user agent, or any intermediary
in the request/response chain can based on the extension
declaration deduce how to properly interpret the extended
message.
In section change
Agents SHOULD NOT reuse header-prefix values in the same
message
to
Agents SHOULD NOT reuse header-prefix values in the same
message unless explicitly allowed by the extension
(see section 4.1 for a discussion of the ultimate recipient
of an extension declaration).
and in section 4.1 change
Proxies MAY act as both the initiator and the ultimate
recipient of end-to-end extension declarations. It is outside
the scope of this specification to define how an agreement is
reached between a party representing the proxy and the party
on which behalf it can act, but for example, the parties may
be within the same trust domain.
to
The ultimate recipient of an end-to-end extension declaration
would often be but is not limited to either the origin server
or the user agent. Proxies MAY act as both the initiator and
the ultimate recipient of end-to-end extension declarations.
It is outside the scope of this specification to define how an
agreement is reached between a party representing the proxy
and the party on which behalf it can act, but for example,
the parties may be within the same trust domain.
