What I'd like this document to do is to discourage pollution of the

It would be nice if there were a standards-track document that clearly
said: header "FOO" is bogus and you should neither generate it nor use it.
Well that's not what I set out to do, and I don't plan to embrace a kind of
"negative registration" mode.
But I'll ask: would not the existence of a registry of approved headers
make the pollutants more conspicuous by their absence from the registry?
