Re: ACTION-831: Continue discussion of the title on the list (CT Guidelines; LC-2018)

Thanks for this long list of choices, Sean.

About the long title in 10., I would even complete it with 
"communication", because what we're trying to achieve here is to define 
ways for Content Providers and Content Transformation Proxies to 
communicate with each other.

"Content Transformation by HTTP Proxies: Communication Guidelines for 
Content Providers and Content Transformation Proxies"

... but I don't quite like the result. I'm merely mentioning it in case 
someone comes up with a better idea that captures the abstract more 
precisely.

That being said, I'd go for 12. as well, which also has the advantage of 
not changing the title too radically.
