Think I prefer Jeffs simple and concise definition. We also have RFC2145
(even if informal) which do guide future specification authors how to
read this..

On a side note personally I think it was a mistake to define hop-by-hop
headers which does not need to be mentioned in Connect as every special
case allows for broken implementations but it's a bit late to do
anything about that now.
