clarification: it should read ‘could pass’ and not ‘would pass’.

While section 14.10 of RFC 2616 / 6.1 of RFC 7230 does have a rule for 
header stripping, it may not be correctly implemented by proxies.
To be perfectly honest, I just had a look at my/our own code and we did 
not implement it - patch pending :-(.

However as long as any proxy implementing the draft does follow this 
rule it looks like a good solution.
