Re: CfC: Republish MIX as CR; deadline July 29th.

Last I heard, Anne was going to decide whether we would end up defining the
"Is X a passthrough request?" property in MIX or Fetch. I don't have a
strong opinion either way.

That said, I'm also on a beach in Italy right now, and will be through
Saturday. It would be lovely if I could update MIX according to Anne's
decision on Monday, but I won't get to it before then.
