Hi Martin,

I've addressed all of these in the latest commits on:
  https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/commits/main/draft-ietf-httpbis-cache-header.md

... except for:

That's because this is the case for all HTTP headers, not just this one. I'm extremely reluctant to re-specify or explain how HTTP works in any great detail in this specification.

Cheers,
