If Host: is intentionally left out and if there is any need to know where-from then use "best effort" with the assumption of either "guest" of known network, or "foreign" or "inherited". If "foreign" or "inherited" then assume either the reply-path details are already included (by specified protocol). This could further eliminate the need for User-Agent: in "inherited" and "guest" mode. The User-Agent: field doesn't make sense in "guest" mode, so I would consider this optional.
