Issue-105 covers whether the server may send a response header when the user agent didn't send a request header, which we have closed (it may). Issue-120 https://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/120 is still pending review; that's the proposal that the response header is a SHOULD when a request header is present. I don't believe we've settled that question yet. The text in the draft says to see Section 4.1, but I think it now refers to Section 5.2. Should we explicitly note inline that the SHOULD/MUST is still debated? Thanks, Nick
