Well, this is yet another case where the theory of spec writing and 
practice aren't aligned :-)

I'd prefer the spec not to state normative requirements with respect to 
headers that don't even have a spec. So optimally, write down what you 
think the header does, and get it registered in the provisional IANA 
registry.
