No fuss at all, just discussion ;)
The problem is not much about the level of compliance you're setting in your
proposal but the rationale behind it. As Julian said, for debugging purpose
I guess this could be useful but in production, I'm not certain clients will
change their headers just because a server  can't deal with them, more so if
the request goes through anyway.
