I think you misunderstood me: I did not intend to propose a
restriction which disallows what Yaron wants.  I would be OK with me
to list registered header names in the Man header.  What I am against
is a mechanism which dynamically allocates unregistered headers or
header prefixes and lists them in the Man header.

This still has too much indirection for my taste.  I would suggest
something like:

Man: Registered-Header1, Reg-Hedr2, URL1, URL2;arg1=x;arg2=y
