I understand.  I don't think that we could realistically place a
blanket requirement on this.  It would be more a case of, if you don't
know who you are sending to, then it might be best to use this
mechanism: <insert new header field>.  The fact that people avoid the
issues we're talking about sometimes is great, but we still have to be
able to make recommendations about what is safe to do.
