Re: Locating RFC [2]822 headers

The existence of a header in such a registry need not mean
that this header is "legal" other than when the registry
refers to a standard for the definition of the header.
The existence could just be interpreted that you should
not re-use an existing header name for a new purpose.

yes, but this really does cause a problem, as the set of
"obvious" field names for some purpose is rather small, and
there is a tendency for the "obvious" field names to get
usurped by naive implementations.
