The use case probably has been considered but I'm not sure there is a
simple solution that can already solve it. If someone knows HTTP-fu and
wants to propose a valid way to do it with existing mechanisms, we could
incorporate it into the example. Failing that, I think a new header,
defined in a standalone document would be path forward.

FWIW draft-thomson-http-mice-03 seems like it was part way to a solution [1]
