In general I think this is a good idea and I’m +1 on it. I think the reasoning for the implicit array markers might want to be elaborated on because it took me a few moments to work it out (it’s to allow header field coalescing), and without it it’s hard to understand why a new specification was required for this at all.

That, also, is a question this RFC needs to answer: why is simply throwing JSON into a header value insufficient? The *actual* answer is that it doesn’t behave well in lots of edge cases (newlines in strings etc. etc.), but if this document doesn’t say that it risks a lot of readers concluding that the IETF spent 10 pages saying “put JSON in header field values”, which isn’t true.
