>    When adding a value to the Proxy-Status field, intermediaries SHOULD
>    preserve the existing members of the field, to allow debugging of the

All comments below are about very minor potential issues that you may choose to
address in some way - or ignore - as you see fit. Some were flagged by
automated tools (via https://github.com/larseggert/ietf-reviewtool), so there
will likely be some false positives. There is no need to let me know what you
did with these suggestions.

Use "an" instead of "a" if the following word starts with a vowel sound, e.g.
"an article", "an hour". (Also elsewhere.)

Section 2.1.2. , paragraph 1, nit:

>                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Avoid the passive voice after "to be able to".
