Ah, I see; you want to dynamically prohibit the client sending a header, rather than declare what headers the client didn't allow modification of.

A separate header won't help you, no.  

The problems I brought up still stand, however. I think we need to have a discussion about how much convenience the implementers really need here, and also to look at the impact on the registration procedure for HTTP headers.
