However, I think this last sentence should either be: 1. Intermediaries MUST forward the trailers unchanged with the forwarded message. 2. Intermediaries SHOULD forward the trailers unchanged with the forwarded message. I would prefer 1, as if an intermediary really need to change the content of a trailer, it may just add a new trailer with the updated content, leaving the older trailer unchanged for any other part of the message referring to it.
